Select Create Violation to create the violation and submit the violation notification (if you opted to do so).
All created violations will appear on the Violations screen. You can access this screen by selecting Violations in the right navigation menu.
Violations can be moved from the violation screen by adjusting their status. You can change the status to “Approved” (or “Rejected”, “Invalid”, “Duplicate” if applicable). Violations cannot be deleted, but “Review Status” filters can be used to organize them.
Alternatively, automatic rules can be applied within the policy screen to have the system auto-approve violations where the ad has not been seen in 7 days' time. These will still appear on the Violations screen with an “Approved” status, but they won’t show up in the default filter.
