+## Configuring content exclusions for your enterprise
+
+As an enterprise owner, you can use the enterprise settings to specify files that {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} should ignore. The files can be within a Git repository or anywhere on the file system that is not under Git control.
+
+You apply rules in the same way as described in the previous section "[Configuring content exclusions for your organization](#configuring-content-exclusions-for-your-organization)" but from the settings for your enterprise. The key difference is that rules set at the enterprise level apply to all {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} users in the enterprise, whereas the rules set by organization owners only apply to users who are assigned a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} seat by that organization.
