# Similar Waivers

The Similar Waivers feature offers users the convenience of looking up _similar_ waivers for a specific policy violation. The waiver details displayed in the _Violation Details_ pane can be useful in determining if the selected policy violation can be waived for similar reasons.

A waiver is considered "similar" if it meets all of the following conditions:

- The user has _View_ permission for the waiver, i.e. View permission on the organization or application that the waiver is scoped to.

- The waiver is created for the same policy.

- The waiver is applicable to the current component, either by being an exact waiver, applicable to any version of the same component or by being applicable to “All components”.

- The expiration date of the waiver is later than the current date.

- The waiver is not already applicable to the policy violation.

For **security violations** only, a waiver is considered "similar" if the vulnerabilityId (CVE or Sonatype Id) matches the vulnerabilityId of the security violation.
