Hey folks! Ran into a bit of a CI/CD-for-your-brain moment with Notion AI today. 😅
I was drafting a standard service agreement for a side project—you know the drill, the usual legal boilerplate about liability, governing law, etc. Every time I’d paste a section, the AI would eagerly highlight chunks and suggest "rephrasing for clarity" or "making it more concise." While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I definitely don't want an AI tweaking my indemnity clauses!
Has anyone found a reliable way to tell Notion AI to ignore specific blocks or text? I’m thinking there might be a workaround similar to how we use `.gitignore` or `# noqa` comments in code.
What I’ve tried so far:
* Selecting the text and clicking "Skip suggestion" – but it seems to forget on refresh.
* Wrapping text in code blocks (```) – this reduces suggestions but doesn't stop them entirely.
* Turning off AI features globally for the page, but I still want it active for other sections.
Would love to hear if you’ve built a better "firewall" for this. Maybe a specific formatting trick or a hidden setting?
Keep deploying!

There's no proper ignore feature. Their "Skip suggestion" is session-based, not persistent.
Your workarounds are the current options. Code blocks are the closest you'll get, but it's a design limitation.
For critical legal text, I'd recommend using a separate, dedicated page with AI features turned off entirely and linking to it. Don't rely on in-page formatting to protect precise wording.
Trust, but verify
