# Flag links to a blocked domain in Confluence

To flag links to a blocked domain in Confluence, open the Capable Quality **Rules** page, set **Disallowed domain links** to a level, type the domain, such as `example.com`, and select **Add**. Select **Save changes**. Pages linking to that domain, or any of its subdomains, are then flagged and listed.

## Before you start

| Confluence administrator                                      | Only Confluence administrators can save changes on the **Rules** page.                           |
| Pages indexed                                                 | Links are read from each page's stored scan.                                                     |

## Steps

1. Open Capable Quality: select **Capable Quality** in the Confluence **Apps** menu, or in a space sidebar to see only that space (in the Suite, **Capable**, then **Quality**).
2. Under **Manage**, select **Rules**.
3. Under **Compliance**, set **Disallowed domain links** to **Priority**, **Warning** or **Info**.
4. In the box that reads `example.com`, type the domain and select **Add**, or press Enter. Repeat for each domain.
5. Select **Save changes**. **Unsaved changes** shows next to the button until you do.
6. In the navigation, select **Disallowed links** to list every page that links to a blocked domain.

## What happens next

Each page that links to a blocked domain shows a **Disallowed domain links** finding in its Quality byline and panel. Blocking `example.com` also catches `www.example.com` and other subdomains. To remove a domain, select the cross on its badge and save.

To find pages linking to a domain without flagging it, use the **Domains** filter in Capable Search.
