+{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} recognizes a variety of versioning tags for pre-releases, stable versions, and custom tags across different ecosystems.
+
+The `dependabot.yml` file doesn't control the versioning tags that you can use, but you can define in configuration options such as [`ignore`](/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file#ignore) the supported versioning tags you want to ignore updates for.
