      I now understand that the ignore option found in the MOZ Site Crawl tool will permanently remove the item from ever showing up in our Issues again. We desire to use the issues list as kind of like a To-Do checklist with the ultimate goal to have no issues found and would like to "Temporarily Remove" an issue to see if it is shows back up in future crawls. If we properly fix the issue it shouldn't show back up.

      However, based on the current Ignore function, if we ignore the issue it will never show back up, even if the issue is still a problem.

      At the same time, the issue could be a known issue that the end user doesn't want to ever show back up and they desire to never have it show again. In this case it might be nice to maintain the current "Permanently Ignore" option.

      Use the following imgur to see a mockup of my idea for your review.

        Hi there,

        Thanks so much for writing in and for providing us with such great feedback! The crawler is very new, and we're definitely always seeking ways to improve it so suggestions like yours really help. I'll pass on this feedback to our development team so we can consider it as something we may want to implement in the future:).

        Let us know if we can help with anything else!

        NOTE: Things have changed since my last response - you can also now mark issues as 'Fixed' within the Site Crawl, so you can track your progress as you go along:). If you mark an issue as 'Fixed', on the next crawl it will still appear if we recognise that it hasn't actually been fixed. My colleague Jo left a helpful screencast in a comment below - https://screencast.com/t/sqyiphpjEcr

          Samantha,

          Excellent. I appreciate the consideration. Hopefully this is something that others will also find value from.
          NOTE: my mock-up would only be one approach. There are other methods that might be more user friendly.

            Hi folks!

            Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!

            When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

            :]
