Q: How do exclusions work for Category lists?

I noticed you can remove specific domains from a blocked category like Gaming Sites. What happens when you remove a domain like that? Is there a way to see which domains were removed from a built-in list, and how can we reset the list back to default or add a domain back?

You can look at the allowed list, this where all the exceptions are listed.

The allow list is something you will need to add. see https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008521833-Manage-Rules

I know I could create one manually, but I was curious about removing a domain from a category list?

Do you mean you want to permanently remove a site from say adult site, because the site is not adult. (example) or give exceptions?

If it is the former, you will need to contact help@firewalla.com

Edited
I mean if I create a rule - target - all gaming sites - info - view the domain list, and then from there select and then select and remove a domain from the list.
What happens to that removed entry?

These site lists are really large and dynamic, so there is no way to look inside of them.

I know, but FW displays the domains it found in use, and you can remove a specific domain from that learned list (see screenshot). What happens to that removed domain?
