# Mark a finding as reviewed

> How to record your assessment of a finding and choose the appropriate action in each channel.

Record your assessment of a finding by telling nebty what it is. The red numbers in the screenshots match the numbers in each step.

## Before you start

You need an account with at least one brand set up, and a finding to review, for example a domain in Domain Monitoring, a result in Search, a profile in Social Media, or an ad in Ads. If you have not looked at a finding yet, start with [Review your first finding](https://docs.nebty-id.com/getting-started/review-your-first-finding/) to see how the Risk Score and AI Verdict work together.

## Steps

1. **Open a finding.** In the brand’s navigation, choose the channel: **Domains** (1), **Search** (2), **Social Media** (3) or **Ads** (4). Then open the finding you want to deal with.

2. **Read the signals that the channel shows.** They tell you how likely the finding is to be impersonation and how much attention it deserves.

   In **Domains**, open the domain. The **AI Verdict** (1) and the **Risk Score** (2) sit at the top of the page.

   In **Search**, read the **AI Insights** write-up (1) under each result.

   In **Social Media** and **Ads**, each card (1) carries a risk badge such as **High Risk**.

3. **Pick the outcome that fits.** The buttons differ per channel.

   On a card in **Social Media** or **Ads**, you have three choices:

   - (1) **This is us:** the profile or ad belongs to you. Mark it as your own.
   - (2) **Not relevant:** it is not impersonation and not worth pursuing.
   - (3) **Threat:** it is genuine impersonation or abuse. This is the starting point for a takedown.

   On a domain in **Domains**, the choices sit at the top of the page:

   - (1) **This is us:** the domain belongs to you. Its Risk Score becomes 0 for this brand, and nebty stops flagging it.
   - (2) **Flag as False Positive** in the **Feedback** menu: the domain is not a threat.
   - (3) **Request Takedown:** the domain is genuine impersonation.

   ![Domain page with This is us marked 1, Flag as False Positive in the open Feedback menu marked 2 and Request Takedown marked 3](https://docs.nebty-id.com/images/docs/guides/en/mark-a-finding-as-reviewed/3-outcome-domains.webp)

   On a result in **Search**, you have two choices:

   - (1) **Not relevant:** not a threat, for example a false positive, a partner or your own site. This hides the result.
   - (2) **Request Takedown:** the result is genuine impersonation.

   ![Search result with the Not relevant button marked 1 and the Request Takedown button marked 2](https://docs.nebty-id.com/images/docs/guides/en/mark-a-finding-as-reviewed/3-outcome-search.webp)

4. **Repeat for the next finding.** Working through your queue this way keeps the dashboard focused on what actually matters. A finding that you have asked a takedown for shows **Requested** (1).

   ![Social Media profile card with the Requested label marked 1](https://docs.nebty-id.com/images/docs/guides/en/mark-a-finding-as-reviewed/4-requested.webp)

The same questions apply in all four channels: is it yours, is it harmless, or is it a genuine threat? The controls look a little different per channel. Domains and Search have no **Threat** button. They offer **Request Takedown** instead. Once you know what each outcome means, it carries over everywhere.

## What happens next

**This is us** marks the finding as your own, and **Not relevant** hides it from your active results. In Domains, **Flag as False Positive** sets the Risk Score to 0 for this brand; the domain stays on record and may still appear depending on your filters. Marking a finding **Threat**, or using **Request Takedown** in Domains and Search, starts a takedown request that you can follow from the Takedowns area. How quickly a takedown resolves depends on the case, so treat triage as the start of the process, not the end of it.
