What is the following feed and how does it work?

“Following” is a feed of real-time CQ content that we provide based on alerts and follows you’ve set up on CQ.com or in CQ. Click on the headlines to navigate to the items. You can see the alert(s) matched by clicking the info button to the right of an item in the feed

How do I hide an alert or follow from my stream?

If you see an alert or follow on an item that you no longer wish to receive alerts on, simply click “Unfollow.” You can click the info button again to close the panel.

Note: Unfollowing an item in the "Following" feed will remove the alert from your CQ.com subscription as well. Once you've unfollowed an item it will no longer appear in your feed, though past items will remain.

How do I filter my following feed?

To filter the items in your following feed, hit the "New Filter" button and select one or more alerts to add to your filter. Name your filter and hit done. The filter will appear in the left rail of your following feed. You can create up to 20 filters, and drag and drop them to arrange them in your preferred order.

How do I edit or delete a filter?

To edit or delete a filter in your following feed, click the pencil icon next to the filter in the left rail. You can then add or remove alerts from your filter, or delete the filter.

How do I deactivate emails but keep the follow in my stream?

If you want to turn off emails for an alert or follow but still want the items to appear in your Following feed, go to 'My CQ' → 'Account Settings' → 'Following Info' and find the item you would like to deactivate. Click the flag of the following button and select 'Following feed only' to turn off email alerts for that item.

How do I view all of my alerts and follows?

To view all of your alerts and follows, go to 'My CQ' → 'Account Settings'→ 'Following Info.' From here you can unfollow any items you currently follow. You can also view all of your alerts and follows at the alert manager.
