Add and Manage Topics

Topics are a new way to organize your content for better discoverability. With Topics, you can create topic containers to group related pages together. This makes it easier for employees to find the information they need, even if they don’t know the exact name of the page they’re looking for.

For example, HR can create an “HR Policies” topic container to group pages related to HR policies. They can also create topic containers for specific departments or teams.

This article provides administrators with the instructions to create and manage topics and pages in the Topics module.
