In certain situations, you may wish to exclude or remove a specific section on the page to prevent (false positive) notifications, especially when the content changes frequently. For instance, you might want to exclude a sidebar containing new blog posts or a Twitter feed at the bottom of the page.

When your tracked element type is "Full page" you may choose to track Everything on the page or Content only. If you choose Content only, text in header, sidebar, footer will not be tracked.

If you would like more control on what is removed, we recommend using the "Remove Element" action to exclude sections that do not interest you. You can either utilize the visual selector to remove the area or add the selector manually. Below you will find a few suggested selectors you can use.
