Now that you have created your subject, it's time to build out your content using topics. Topics are the subgroups that live within your subject. Each topic will contain the steps where your content lives (how-to instructions, pictures, videos, etc.). You can learn more about how to best structure your content by viewing our Example Subject, Topic, and Step Structure resource.
📝 Please note: You must have an existing Subject before you add a topic to it. If you don't have a subject yet, learn where to create your subject by visiting our Company, Policies, and Processes article.
To add a topic from Outline View:
Navigate to your subject by clicking on the page where your subject lives on the left-hand navigation bar (Company, Policies, or Processes).
Ensure you are in outline view by clicking on the "Outline View" icon on the top right-hand corner of your page, as pictured below.
