Over time, you may need to edit information about your feed on Adafruit IO such as:

• Feed name - The user-provided, human-readable, name for a feed. 
• Feed key - The system-generated, URL-safe identifier based on the Feed name that is used in API requests. For more information about Feed Keys, see this guide >>>
• Feed description - Information about the specific feed
• Feed visibility - whether data on the feed is private, or publicly viewable
• Feed Sharing - covered in the "Sharing a Feed" section of this guide
• Feed history - how long data is stored on the feed
• Feed notification - Email notifications for when the feed goes "offline"
• Feed Webhook - enable a webhook to send data to your feed,
• License - Add a license type to your feed

To view your feeds, navigate to Adafruit IO and click the Feeds button on the header.

From the Feeds page, click the feed that you would like to view and edit.

From the feed page, you can edit the feed's information and configuration.

Edit Feed Info

By editing a feed's info, you'll be able to change its name, key, and/or description.

From the feed page, click the Feed Info button.

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 programmatically. By default, the key is a lowercase version of your feed name with any spaces replaced with dashes. See our guide to naming things in Adafruit IO for more information about how we handle the formatting of names and keys.

Click Save once you have finished editing the feed's information.

Edit Feed Privacy

When a new feed is created on Adafruit IO, that feed is private by default. The feed, and the information stored on it, will be visible only to you.

But what if you want to share a link to the feed's data with a friend, a classmate, your students, or the world?

You can edit your feed's privacy by clicking the Privacy button on the feed page.

From the Privacy pop-up, you can edit the Feed's visibility to either be private (feed will only be visible to you) or public (anyone in the world will be able to read data from your feed).

For example, my Example feed is private. Set the feed's value to public and click Save.

On the feed page, underneath Privacy, new text will appear informing you that the feed is publicly visible via the feed's URL in your browser.

Edit Feed License

If you are sharing your feed's data publicly, you should set the appropriate license for your data. You can choose to reserve all rights for the data or license it under any of the Creative Commons licenses in the list.

To change the license for your feed, click on the gear icon under the License menu on the bottom right of the screen. 

You will be presented with a list of licenses to select from. Click on a new license type and save your selection.

Edit Feed Notifications

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.

Edit Feed History

When they are created, an Adafruit IO Feed is configured to store data points up to 1KB in length.

However, if you want to put large data points (such as images or binary blobs) on an Adafruit IO feed, you can turn the feed history off.  With the Feed history turned off, you can publish values up to 100KB to a feed.

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.
