The **Mentions Feed** provides a real-time stream of all collected social media posts related to your search queries. Mentions are displayed in a clean, card-based layout that helps you quickly analyze content, sentiment, engagement, and conversation patterns across platforms.

This section explains how to navigate and use all features inside the Mentions tab.
