# Display License Issues in Feed

In addition to the license report, Aikido allows you to display licenses directly in the feed. These issues are grouped by license type and show all locations where a specific license is used. This feature helps you stay informed and take immediate action on license-related issues.

### Benefits <a href="#benefits" id="benefits"></a>

* Directly act licenses: snooze, ignore, or create tasks.
* Receive alerts for new critical and high severity license issues.

### How to enable Licenses in feed <a href="#how-to-enable-licenses-in-feed" id="how-to-enable-licenses-in-feed"></a>

**Step 1:** Navigate to the [License & SBOM Reports page](https://app.aikido.dev/licenses)

**Step 2:** Click the Action dropdown menu and select 'Display Licenses in Feed'

**Step 3:** Select one of the three options. You have the option to show only the critical licenses issues, or also including the high severity ones.

> **Note:** all issues in the feed are reflected in the trends over time report. This means that by enabling this functionality, there might be a bump in the number of open issues.

**Step 4:** Go back to Feed and select License Issues in the filter. All open critical and/or high severity license issues will be displayed. **Aikido will run a scan in the background to start showing licenses - this can take a minute.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/getting-started/core-functionalities/display-license-issues-in-feed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
