Reviewing Matches

Go to Matches in your dashboard to see all pending matches.

Step 2: Review Each Match

For each match, evaluate:

1. Is it your content? - Compare the match to your known content
2. Is it unauthorized? - Check if the site has permission to host it
3. Is it already whitelisted? - Your own platforms should be filtered

Step 3: Take Action

For each match, you can:

• Request Removal: Flag for DMCA takedown
• Ignore: Mark as false positive or authorized use
• Whitelist Domain: Add the domain to your whitelist

Bulk Actions

Tips for Efficient Review

Use Filters

Filter matches by type, date, or domain to focus on specific categories.

Whitelist Trusted Domains

If you see matches from your own sites, add them to your whitelist to prevent future false positives.

Check Similarity Scores

Higher similarity scores are more likely to be true matches. Review lower-scored matches more carefully.

Handling False Positives

If a match is not your content:

1. Click Ignore on the match
2. Optionally whitelist the domain if multiple false positives come from it
3. The match won't appear in future scans
