Discarding an error

When an error does not refer to a genuine mistake and is, in fact, a false positive, you can discard it.

In the error pane, select the errors you want to discard.
You can select multiple errors by pressing and holding the SHIFT key while pressing the DOWN or UP arrow keys.
Do one of the following:
- Click the Discard button.
- Right-click on the error.
- Press the space bar.
The error is now grey.
Note: QA Distiller remembers discarded errors. Even after you reprocess your files in the same session, they stay in the error list, but they stay marked as discarded.

You can hide/show your discarded errors by clicking the Hide Discarded and Show Discarded buttons on the toolbar.
