# Can I ask WeddingEditor to leave things out?

Yes. One of the optional preference questions asks what to avoid, such as a moment, a person or a type of shot, and your answers guide the AI edit. Answers are fixed when you pay.

Use it for anything the couple would not want to see, from an awkward moment in a toast to a guest they asked you not to feature.

For how to write must-include and avoid instructions, see the [Must-include and avoid](https://www.weddingeditor.ai/features/must-include-and-avoid/) feature page.
