# Disavow list

> Mark toxic backlinks on Disavow, filter by domain, subdomain, or URL, and prepare a file for Google Search Console.

The **Disavow** page is the list of backlinks you do not want Google to count. Open it at [app.ples.com/disavow](https://app.ples.com/disavow). You need **Disavow** view permission to see it, and edit permission to change it.

## What you can mark

Each entry is one of:

* **URL** — a single page
* **Subdomain** — every URL on that subdomain
* **Domain** — the whole host

Filter the table by type, by the property the links point to, or by search.

## Add links to the list

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the link">
    Open [Links](/article/links-table) or use [disavow suggestions](/article/disavow-suggestions) on the Disavow page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark it">
    Add the row to Disavow and choose **domain**, **subdomain**, or **url**. You can also add several rows with bulk actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the list">
    Confirm the type and value. Removing an item here does not delete the monitored link — it only takes it off the disavow list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Marking a link does **not** send anything to Google. You still [export a GSC file](/article/export-disavow-gsc) and upload it in Google Search Console.

<Warning>
  Disavow only links you are sure are harmful or unwanted. A domain-level entry affects every URL on that host in the export for that property.
</Warning>
