How to Unfollow a Project

Introduction

When you follow a project on CircleCI, it appears on your Pipelines dashboard and you receive email notifications about build status. If you no longer need to monitor a specific project, you can unfollow it to remove it from your dashboard and you will then stop receiving notifications. This article walks you through the steps to unfollow a project from your CircleCI organization.

Prerequisites

Before unfollowing a project, ensure you have:

• An active CircleCI account with access to your organization
• At least one project that you are currently following in your organization
• Logged into the CircleCI web application at https://app.circleci.com

Instructions

Unfollow a Project from the Projects Page

Step 1: Log into the CircleCI web application at https://app.circleci.com

Step 2: Select the organization that contains the project you want to unfollow. You can do this by:

• Clicking on one of the tiles under 'Organizations'
  

Step 3: Navigate to the Projects page by clicking "Projects" in the left sidebar navigation menu

Step 4: Find the project you want to unfollow in the list of projects

Step 5: Click the Unfollow button next to the project name

The project will be immediately removed from your Pipelines dashboard and you will no longer receive email notifications for that project's builds. You will also notice the 'Unfollow' button has changed to 'Follow'

Unfollow a Project from the Pipelines Dashboard

Step 1: Log into the CircleCI web application at https://app.circleci.com

Step 2: Navigate to the Pipelines dashboard by clicking "Pipelines" in the left sidebar (or you may already be on this page by default)

Step 3: Use the project filter dropdown at the top of the page to select the specific project you want to unfollow

Step 4: Click the ellipsis menu icon (three dots) that appears when viewing a filtered project

Step 5: An actions menu will appear. Click the Unfollow Project from the menu

Outcome

After unfollowing a project:

• The project will no longer appear on your personal Pipelines dashboard
• You will stop receiving email notifications about the project's build status
• The project will still be visible in your organization's project list
• You can re-follow the project at any time by clicking the Follow button on the Projects page
• Other team members who are following the project will continue to see it on their dashboards and receive notifications

Note that unfollowing a project does not affect the project's builds or settings in any way - it only changes what you personally see and receive notifications about.
