Topics keep all your content structured and easy to find. They are nestable — a single topic can have subtopics going multiple levels deep. You can also use topics to manage permissions. This article will walk you through the different ways to create a topic.
From the sidebar
You can create a top-level topic from the sidebar. A top-level topic is a topic that has no parent topic.
To create a top-level topic from the sidebar, click the + plus icon next to All Topics.
✏️ Note
Depending on your organization's settings, you may need to be an admin to create a top-level topic, and guests are never allowed to create top-level topics. You can learn more about top-level topic permissions here.
Creating a subtopic
You can also create a subtopic from the sidebar.
Hover over the topic that you'd like to create a subtopic under
Click the … menu
Select Create subtopic
