+### Error with Cody `contextFilters` during chat or editing code
+
+The `contextFilters` setting in Cody is used to control which files are included or excluded when Cody searches for relevant context while answering questions or providing code assistance. Sometimes, you can see the following error:
+
+```
+Edit failed to run: file is ignored (due to cody.contextFilters Enterprise configuration setting)
+```
+
+This error occurs when you're trying to work with a file that's been excluded by Cody's enterprise-level `contextFilters` configuration. At times, this can happen to files that also haven't been excluded. First, check with your organization's admin to understand which files are excluded.

+If the error occurs with a file that's not been excluded, the workaround is to uninstall the Cody plugin, restart your IDE and then reinstall the latest version of the extension.
