Managing automatically dismissed alerts

Note

The Dependabot alerts page defaults to showing open alerts. To filter and view auto-dismissed alerts, you must first clear the is:open default filter from the view.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. Under the repository name, click Security. If you cannot see the "Security" tab, select the dropdown menu, and then click Security.

  3. To filter to see all closed alerts, click Closed. Alternatively, use the is:closed filter query in the search bar.
