You can choose to auto-dismiss alerts indefinitely, or snooze alerts until a patch becomes available, and you can specify which alerts you want {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} to open pull requests for. Rules are applied before alert notifications are sent, so creating custom rules that auto-dismiss low-risk alerts will reduce notification noise from future matching alerts.
 
 Since any rules that you create apply to both future and current alerts, you can also use {% data variables.dependabot.auto_triage_rules_short %} to manage your {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_alerts %} in bulk.
