Simulink Project ignore files and folders

I'm using Simulink Project in R2017b to organize my project.

Within the project folder, I have some files which should not be part of the project for different reasons:

• some are temporary files e.g. slprj-folder, which are already ignored by means of .gitignore
• some are files, which are typically edited or created outside of matlab (e.g. process descriptions), they are part of source control, but should be ignored by matlab

How can I get Simulink Project to ignore both kind of files / folders.

right mouse click on the file/folder and select "Remove from Project"

Thanks Mark,

Removing from project still leads to a 'check project' report with a a long list of files, which are under source control but not part of project.

This long list makes it hard to find files which should be added to source control.

I'm searching for a possibility to ignore or exclude files or folders explicitly from project, while keeping them in source control.

+1 on this topic. We have a project with mex-files, but the source code is managed via Visual Studio. We don't want to include all the VS files in the Simulink project but we also don't want to deal with the permanent error messages. Is there any simple workaround?
