“Ignored Build Step” capability in CFP?

When you push a commit to your online repo, your Cloudflare Pages site rebuilds if you have automatic deployments activated. However, sometimes you may want to push a commit for the repo’s sake but without rebuilding.

In the Vercel GUI (as documented here), there is a setting called Ignored Build Step which, if you insert the user- specified string in a commit message — e.g., [no ci] — will cancel the rebuild. Similarly, if using a GitHub Action, you can enter similar text in a commit message to avoid a rebuild. Thus, either method allows you to push a commit online but not rebuild. But, as far as I can tell from the CFP documentation, the only way to do this in CFP is, first, to go into the GUI and turn off automatic deployments before pushing a commit that you don’t want to trigger a build.

So, my question: is there in fact a way (documented or otherwise) to use the commit message as described above to control whether a CFP rebuild occurs? TIA for any such info anyone can provide.

Yikes. How did I miss that? :thinking: Thanks!
