How to work with omission

If you can't find a mention in your topic, try these steps:

Check the folders

Check the Bin folder to see if the mention might have been deleted by mistake. To find the mention quickly, use unique keywords from the missing post. Put the phrase in quotation marks, put it in the search within the topic, for example, "Air Force"

Check the Spam folder.

Try filtering mentions in a folder by source or author, for example.


Check the Excluded mentions in your topic Settings. The publication source or community where the mention appeared might be excluded from your topic.



Check the keywords in your topic Query

Check the keywords in your topic query. Perhaps the keyword you need wasn't explicitly included in the query, or the mention contains one of your stop-words.

Check your topic Filters

Perhaps your mention is written in a language that's been excluded from the topic, or it could have been filtered out for other reasons.

Check when your topic was last updated. It could have been created or updated after the mention was published. You can find dates of last update for all your topics on the topic list page: https://next.youscan.io/themes
