​
Snooze by Domain

Snoozing a domain pauses alerts for all pages and content under that domain. This option is appropriate for known, trusted educational or instructional sites.
Major domains such as google.com and Google tools such as docs.google.com cannot be snoozed. Individual Google Doc links can be snoozed.
Follow the same steps as snoozing by URL. When the snooze dialog opens, the domain will be shown in place of the individual URL.
