Sometimes manual findings aren’t actionable. There are a number of reasons that you may want to dismiss a finding. A few examples include a bug fix that you can’t implement, or branding that won’t be changed. If that’s the case, you can dismiss the finding and move on with your remediation.
Remember that dismissing a finding doesn't fix the accessibility issue. Too many dismissed findings can affect your accessibility compliance. As a best practice, only dismiss findings when you need to.
