# Website management

Website management controls where **Instant Replay** runs.

Use it to always enable trusted apps. Block sensitive sites.

### Lists

You manage two domain lists:

* **Always Enabled Sites:** Instant Replay runs, even on heavy pages.
* **Blocked Sites:** Instant Replay never runs.

{% hint style="info" %}
A domain can only be in one list. Adding it to one list removes it from the other.
{% endhint %}
