Excluding Smart Discovery collections

You can exclude individual collections from a Smart Discovery. An excluded collection remains in the Smart Discovery data, but the collection is not displayed as part of the Smart Discovery on a web page. For example, if a particular collection is not correct for the Smart Discovery as a whole, you can exclude the collection from being displayed. You can always include the collection back in the Smart Discovery.

note

Exclusions persist across regeneration provided the regeneration does not remove the excluded collection.
