# Ignore

The Ignore tool enables you to ignore a point as if it was not captured. After a point is ignored, a line is drawn between the point before and after it. This can be useful when you've captured a point to keep your measurement within the time limit, or to navigate an obstacle.

{% hint style="info" %}
The first and last points of a measurement cannot be ignored – if you ignore a point and then end a measurement before measuring another point, the action will be cancelled.
{% endhint %}

### Ignore a Pause Point While Measuring

With app version 3.0 or newer, you can now ignore pause points while measuring.

When your Moasure device is stationary and a pause point is created, the options Label and Ignore will appear on the canvas.

#### To ignore the current pause point while stationary during a measurement:

1. Tap **Ignore**.
2. By default, this applies to the current pause point – the solid edge between the previous and current points in your measurement will become a dashed edge, highlighting that the current point is marked as ‘temporary’, and it will not be excluded until you measure another point. 
3. Continue measuring to the next pause point.
4. When you are stationary and your next pause point has been captured, the ignored point will be greyed out and the dashed edge will disappear. A solid measurement edge will link your current pause point with the previous ‘true’ pause point, bypassing the ignored point in between.

#### To ignore a previous pause point while stationary during a measurement:

1. Tap on a specific previous pause point.
2. Tap **Ignore**.
3. The point will be greyed out, and ignored by the measurement edges.

### Ignore a Pause Point After Measuring

You can also ignore pause points after completing a measurement:

1. Tap **File**.
2. Tao **Open**.
3. Tap to choose a file.
4. Select the point you want to ignore.
5. Tap **Edit**.
6. Scroll across the options and tap **Ignore**.
7. The point will be greyed out, and ignored by the measurement edges.

### Unignore a Point

If you need to restore an ignored point:

1. Tap on the ignored point.
2. Tap **Edit**.
3. Tap **Unignore**.

This gives you flexibility in refining your measurements, allowing you to ignore and restore points as required.

### Auto Ignore <a href="#auto-ignore" id="auto-ignore"></a>

Instead of ignoring each point manually, you can also use the [Auto Ignore Tool](/en/moasure-app/master-edit-tools/auto-ignore.md). Auto Ignore automatically ignores points that are on the same line that connects the start and end point.

### Unignorable Points <a href="#points-that-cannot-be-ignored" id="points-that-cannot-be-ignored"></a>

Not all points can be ignored – if a point can't be ignored, it will be greyed out in the app and will not be tappable.\

The following points cannot be ignored:

* A start point.
* A finish point.
* A point that has already been ignored (an ignore point).
