If you need to change the name, key, or description of your feed, you can do that by navigating to your feed and clicking the gear icon under the Feed Information menu on the right hand side of the screen.
You will be presented with a form so you can edit the name, key, and description of the feed. The key for a feed can be used when accessing the feed programatically. By default, the key is a lowercase version of your feed name with any spaces replaced with dashes. You can modify the key to be any unique combination of lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes.
Click Save once you have finished editing the values.

Notification Settings
When notifications are activated, Adafruit IO will send an email to alert you if no new data has been received for your feed within the given amount of time. To change the notification settings for your feed, click on the gear icon under the Notifications menu on the right hand side of the screen.
Next, enable notifications by selecting ON from the status menu, and selecting a timeout. Click Save when finished.
History Settings
Turning history off for your feed will mean only the last value received is stored. History is on for all new feeds by default, but you can turn history off if you would like to push large values. By default you can push values up to 1KB in length, but with feed history off, you can publish values up to 100KB in length.
To change the history settings for your feed, click on the gear icon under the Feed History menu on the right hand side of the screen.
Next, enable or disable history by selecting ON or OFF from the menu, and click Save.
