The Category Filter helps you focus on specific types of mentions based on where the data comes from.

For example:

  • Click "News" to see only mentions from news sites

  • Select "All comments" to see comments only (not posts)

  • Choose "Tweets" to see only tweets

Each of the supported sources has a category option for you to choose, in order to view your mentions. By default, you will view every category available.

Available categories by web & social media source
