Managing Sources

After scanning and enriching, you may want to control which sources are included in archiving operations, or annotate locations with observations.

The exclude command lets you mark sources to skip during cluster generate and apply. This is useful for:

• Ignoring temporary or system files
• Skipping known duplicates while keeping a preferred copy
• Filtering out small files below a size threshold
• Removing unwanted files from consideration without deleting them

Exclusions are stored directly on sources and can be cleared at any time.

The note command lets you annotate locations with timestamped observations during exploration. Notes surface automatically in survey output, serving as breadcrumbs when revisiting locations.
