- Pick a Folder you'd like to apply the Mute Filter to
- Select a Company, Product, or Keyword you'd like Feedly AI to Mute

Note: The “All Personal Feeds” option counts as 1 Feed in terms of these limits. You can have 25 or 200 terms on this feed, depending on your plan.
Can a Mute Filter target a specific source?
