You are here because you have a page/pages or post/posts that you have marked as NoIndex or would like to have marked as NoIndex, and you would not like to have the same Index Coverage Issues.
Here is how you solve it.
Again, this must have the All In One SEO plugin. Let's say you do not want a particular page or post to be indexed. So you would want this page to have the NoIndex code.
At the same time, you must exclude this page from the Site Map or you will have the same Index Coverage Issue as mentioned earlier.
What do you do?
Go to the particular page or post.
Scroll down to the section where you fill in the Meta Description.
Below it, you have a few options with checkboxes. See image below.
You should tick the box for NOINDEX for this page/post.And tick the box for Exclude From Sitemap.
This way, your page or post is not indexed. Plus, it is not included in the Site Map. So the Search Bots do not expect such a page to 'exist' on your website.
As a result, no Index Coverage Issue.

Great training.
May I add that this will however not fix the issues with people that have the warning for pages or posts like for example the privacy policy because these are marked as noindex.
To fix this people have to indicate on the page or posts themselves that they do not want to include it in the sitemap - it can easily be done in All in One just below them meta description.
All the best,
Mikael
