What is the difference between Ignore and Mark as Fixed?

You can choose to handle issues found by the Web Governance scan with the options Ignore or Mark as fixed. This document provides an explanation for how each option works:

• Ignore: Mark an issue as 'ignore' to indicate that you do not want to see an error for it. When you choose this option, the system removes the issue from the list and ignores it on future scans. Use this option if you are sure that the marked issue is not an error.

  Note

  The system recalculates the website's compliance score when you ignore an issue. This is because the system regards ignored issues as non-existent. If you ignore a flagged issue, it is not factored into future scans, and this permanently affects the compliance score of your website.

• Mark as fixed: Mark an issue as fixed after you fix the issue on your website HTML and want to remove the link from the lists. Do this to remove the issue from the list so that you have a better overview of the next tasks you need to complete. If the scan finds the issue on subsequent scans, it returns it to the issues list and it is factored into the compliance score.
