# How to dismiss an individual event within an incident
Not every event flagged by the system accurately reflects a violation. Dismissing an individual event lets you remove a false positive detection without dismissing the entire incident, keeping your review accurate without losing the context of what else was flagged.

### Step-by-step guide
1. Click the second icon in the right strip to open the Incidents panel.
2. Click the **chevron** on the incident that contains the event you want to dismiss to expand it. The individual events that contributed to the incident will appear below.
3. Click the **dismiss icon** on the right side of the event you want to dismiss.
4. The event is immediately struck through, indicating it has been dismissed.
**Additional tips**
* When you dismiss an event, the incident severity may be updated based on the configuration and its logic.
* Before dismissing an event, cross-reference it with the video evidence to validate whether it was correctly flagged by the system.
