Create `.inspectorignore` at your repository root to exclude files and folders from Inspector’s view. Works like `.gitignore`.

## Editing Inspector Ignore

You can edit `.inspectorignore` directly in Inspector through the settings.

1. Click your profile icon in the top right  
2. Click **Settings**  
3. Click the **Project Settings** tab  
4. Click the **.inspectorignore** file  
5. Edit the file  
6. Click the **Save** button

## Example

```
node_modules/
.env
*.log
dist/
build/
```

## Use Cases

- **Dependencies** — Exclude `node_modules/` and other package directories  
- **Build artifacts** — Hide `dist/`, `build/`, `.next/` folders  
- **Sensitive files** — Keep `.env` and credentials out of Inspector  
- **Large files** — Exclude assets that slow down project loading

## Syntax

`.inspectorignore` uses the same pattern syntax as `.gitignore`:

| Pattern               | Description                                     |
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| `folder/`           | Ignore a directory and its contents             |
| `*.log`             | Ignore all files with `.log` extension         |
| `!important.log`    | Negate a pattern (don’t ignore this file)      |
| `**/temp`           | Match `temp` in any directory                   |

Commit `.inspectorignore` to ensure consistent project views across your team.
