Exclusion policies
concept australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read c_ExclusionPolicies.md
You can exclude certain files from change tracking by creating an exclusion policy.
When a change matches an exclusion policy, the change does not generate records in the local changes list. The change still generates local version records and Update Set records as normal. See Creating an Exclusion Policy.
Note: The exclusion policy applies to changes identified during a reconciliation operation. If you create an exclusion policy after a reconciliation, Team Development still tracks the changes until the next reconciliation.
