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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zBspK7oSNiYxVD~DE8eCCg)**   
  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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SqbcrN5mgARewNITC8JQqg)**   
  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.

**Related concepts**   

* [Related details for case artifacts](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ajcdrJhAoEjOoX3~sqLcKQ "As you add artifacts to a case, additional related details for each artifact may also be automatically added. For example, if you add a security incident, it may contain affected CIs and user records. You can quickly view the related details for a selected artifact without leaving the list of artifacts.")  
**Related tasks**
