+Dependencies ignored by using the `@dependabot ignore` command are stored centrally for each package manager. If you start ignoring dependencies in the `dependabot.yml` file, these existing preferences are considered alongside the `ignore` dependencies in the configuration. You won't be able to use the `@dependabot ignore` command to add any further dependencies, instead you will need add them to the `dependabot.yml` file.

 ##### Specifying dependencies and versions to ignore
 
-{% data reusables.dependabot.default-dependencies-allow-ignore %}
-
 You can use the `ignore` option to customize which dependencies are updated. The `ignore` option supports the following options.
 
-- `dependency-name`—use to ignore updates for dependencies with matching names, optionally using `*` to match zero or more characters. For Java dependencies, the format of the `dependency-name` attribute is: `groupId:artifactId`, for example: `org.kohsuke:github-api`.
+- `dependency-name`—use to ignore updates for dependencies with matching names, optionally using `*` to match zero or more characters. For Java dependencies, the format of the `dependency-name` attribute is: `groupId:artifactId` (for example: `org.kohsuke:github-api`).
 - `versions`—use to ignore specific versions or ranges of versions. If you want to define a range, use the standard pattern for the package manager (for example: `^1.0.0` for npm, or `~> 2.0` for Bundler).
+- `update-types`—use to ignore types of updates, such as semver `major`, `minor`, or `patch` updates on version updates (for example: `version-update:semver-patch` will ignore patch updates). You can combine this with `dependency-name: *` to ignore particular `update-types` for all dependencies. Currently, `version-update:semver-major`, `version-update:semver-minor`, and `version-update:semver-patch` are the only supported options. Security updates are unaffected by this setting.
+
+If `versions` and `update-types` are used together, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} will ignore any update in either set.

-**Warning**: Before you add an `ignore` option to the *dependabot.yml* configuration file, check whether the repository already has any ignore preferences (created using the `@dependabot ignore` commands). When you add an `ignore` option to the *dependabot.yml* configuration file, this overwrites any ignore preferences stored centrally for that package manager, branch, and directory.
