With Topics activated in your community, your members choose a topic before posting an update to your feed. This helps to organise updates and structure the information sharing in your community.

Note: when Topics is activated, every update needs to have a topic

You can easily activate Topics for your community in settings:

The default topic, "General," is automatically assigned to you; you can rename it if needed. You need to have at least 1 topic live at all times.

Add as many topics as needed. You can edit the names and add more afterwards.

1. Navigate to settings &gt; topics
2. Click "Activate topics"
   
    
3. The default topic, "General," is automatically assigned to you; you can rename it if needed. You need to have at least 1 topic live at all times.
4. Add as many topics as needed. You can edit the names and add more afterwards.
   
    

All old updates in the community will be assigned under the default topic "General". You can add as many topics as you wish to your community and from now on your members and community admins will need to choose one of them when sharing an update.

You can rename a topic if needed. All the updates under that topic will still remain under it with the new topic name.

Edit the name of the topic you wish to rename

1. Navigate to settings &gt; topics
2. Edit the name of the topic you wish to rename
3. Click save next to the name

You can delete a topic later on if needed or rename it to something else that better matches your situation. When you delete a topic, you will need to reassign all the updates under it to another topic.

Click the trash can icon next to the topic you wish to delete

Choose the topic that should host the updates under the topic you wish to delete

1. Navigate to settings &gt; topics
2. Click the trash can icon next to the topic you wish to delete
3. Choose the topic that should host the updates under the topic you wish to delete
4. Click Continue
