 ## Exclude files and folders
 
-You can exclude files and folders from being evaluated by Attack surface reduction rules. 
+You can exclude files and folders from being evaluated by most Attack surface reduction rules. This means that even if the file or folder contains malicious behavior as determined by an Attack surface reduction rule, the file will not be blocked from running. 
+
+This could potentially allow unsafe files to run and infect your devices.
+
+>[!WARNING]
+>Excluding files or folders can severly reduce the protection provided by Attack surface reduction rules. Files that would have been blocked by a rule will be allowed to run, and there will be no report or event recorded.
+> 
+>If you are encountering problems with rules detecting files that you believe should not be detected, you should [use audit mode first to test the rule](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md#enable-and-audit-attack-surface-reduction-rules).
+
+You can specify individual files or folders (using folder paths or fully qualified resource names) but you cannot specify if the exclusions should only be applied to individual rules: the exclusions will apply to all rules that are enabled (or placed in audit mode) and that allow exclusions.
+
+Exclusions will only be applied to certain rules. Some rules will not honor the exclusion list. This means that even if you have added a file to the exclusion list, some rules will still evaluate and potentially block that file if the rule determines the file to be unsafe.
+
+>[!IMPORTANT] 
+>Rules that do not honor the exclusion list will not exclude folders or files added in the exclusion list. All files will be evaluated and potentially blocked by rules that do not honor the exclusion list (indicated with a red X in the following table).
