Add and Manage Topics

Introducing Topics and Pages in Appspace

Appspace is constantly innovating to provide our users with the best possible experience. In our latest release, we’re excited to introduce two new features that will make it easier for you to create and organize content: Pages and Topics.

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.

Pages

Pages introduce a fresh content type that enables you to craft more vibrant and interactive content for your audience. With Pages, you can incorporate various forms of content and blocks, including text and images. This allows you to design aesthetically pleasing and comprehensible pages.

For example, HR departments can use Pages to create informative pages on various topics like annual leave booking, parental policies, and more. They can also use Pages to create interactive employee onboarding experiences.

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