Ignored changes

Review every change your project has ignored, see how much review noise each one absorbs, and unignore the ones that went quiet.

Ignoring a change is easy to do and easy to forget. The Ignored tab lists every change a project currently ignores, so you can tell which ignores are still earning their keep and which have become blind spots.

Open the Ignored tab

1. Open your project in Argos.
2. Select the Ignored tab.

The tab only appears when the ignore feature is enabled for the project. See Configure what Argos ignores.

What each row shows

Changes are listed most recently ignored first.

• Change — the most recent screenshot carrying this change, with the test name and build name. Select the row to open the change on the test page.
• Ignored — when the change was ignored and who ignored it. Changes that auto-ignore muted are attributed to the Argos bot and carry an Auto badge.
• Occurrences — how many auto-approved builds have shown this exact change since it was ignored. This is the review noise the ignore has absorbed.
• Last seen — the last build in which this exact change appeared.

Decide what to unignore

The two right-hand columns are what make the list worth revisiting.

A change with a high Occurrences count is doing its job: it would have interrupted a review that many times. A change that hasn't been seen in weeks is the opposite — the flake behind it has probably been fixed, and the ignore is now hiding any genuine regression that happens to produce the same diff.

An ignore is scoped to one test and one diff fingerprint, so it never hides a different change to the same screenshot. See How Argos recognizes the same change.

Unignore a change

1. Hover the row you want to unignore.
2. Select Unignore, then confirm.

Argos treats the change as a change again, so the next build showing it will ask for review. The confirmation offers Undo if you change your mind.

Unignoring requires the review permission on the project.

FAQ

Why does a row show 0 occurrences?

The change hasn't reappeared in an auto-approved build since it was ignored. Either the flake stopped, or the change simply hasn't run again. Check Last seen to tell the two apart.

Does turning the ignore feature off clear this list?

No. Ignored changes are kept, and the list is still there when you turn the feature back on. While it's off, new builds ignore nothing.

Can I unignore everything at once?

Not from this page — changes are unignored one at a time. You can also unignore a change from the build page or the test page using the same Ignore button that set it.
