ChangeTower allows you to monitor the full page while excluding specific elements from change detection. If changes occur within ignored elements, ChangeTower will not trigger notifications.
Step 1: Start creating a new monitor
In the left navigation menu, click on New Monitor, then select the single-page monitoring option.
Step 2: Enter the URL
Enter the URL you want to monitor. After entering the URL, you’ll be taken to the monitor setup screen.
Step 3: Open advanced configuration
Under the Configure tab, full-page monitoring is selected by default. Click on Advanced Configuration and select the Ignore Elements option.
Step 4: Select elements to ignore
Once you select the 'Ignore Elements' option, a screenshot of the page will expand. Click on the elements you want to ignore so changes in those areas do not trigger notifications.
Step 5: Save ignored elements
Click Save to confirm your selection. The ignored elements will be highlighted in red in the image snapshot.
Step 6: Edit ignored elements (optional)
Click Edit if you want to add or adjust the areas being ignored.

In the Details section, you can edit:
