Approving and dismissing visual changes
Accept an expected change as the new baseline, or dismiss noise so it stops re-alerting.
Quick answer
Every visual alert has Approve (make this the new baseline) and Dismiss (ignore this one, keep old baseline). Approve when the change was intentional.
What it does
- Approve — replaces the baseline with the new capture; future runs compare against it
- Dismiss — clears the alert without changing baseline; next different capture will alert again
- Snooze — silences the monitor for a chosen window (useful during redesigns)
Where to find it in Lemwatch
Alerts inbox → click a visual change → Approve / Dismiss / Snooze.
How to use it
- Open the alert to see the side-by-side diff.
- If the change was intentional (new hero, updated price) → Approve.
- If it was noise (ad rotation, one-off flicker) → Dismiss and consider adding an ignore zone.
- If you're mid-redesign → Snooze for 24–72 hours.
- Approved captures show a badge in the timeline.
