 ```
 The above XML file will suppress the cpe:/a:apache:struts:2.0.0 from any file with the a matching SHA1 hash.
 
+The following shows some other ways to suppress individual findings. Note the ways to select files using either
+the sha1 hash or the filePath (the filePath can also be a regex). Additionally, there are several things that
+can be suppressed - individual CPEs, individual CVEs, or all CVE entries below a specified CVSS score. The most common
+would be suppressing CPEs based off of SHA1 hashes or filePath (regexes) - these entries can be generated using the
+HTML version of the report. The other common scenario would be to ignore all CVEs below a certain CVSS threshold.
