# Security artifact exclusion and inclusion

The lists of supporting artifacts assigned to a case can sometimes get long and there may be instances where you want to remove particular artifacts from a list. Rather than permanently remove the artifacts, you can exclude them from the list and, as needed, return them to the list at a later time.

-   **[Exclude security artifacts from a case](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/exclude-records.md)**  
You can remove artifacts from the lists of supporting artifacts. They are not permanently removed and can be returned to the case as needed.
-   **[Return excluded security artifacts to a case](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/include-artifacts.md)**  
After you have excluded artifacts from a list in a case, you can return them to the case you can continue to work on them.
