What Are Topics?
Topics are a powerful new taxonomy tool that lets you structure and tag content across your Zapnito community more intelligently. With hierarchical parent and sub-topic structures, Community Managers and Admins can create tailored content pathways that improve content surfacing for your members.
Whether your community is content-rich or just starting out, Topics provide the flexibility and control to align your content with the needs of your audience.
How It Works
Creating Topics:
-
Head to Settings > Topics
-
Click the +Create Topic button
-
Add a title and decide whether the Topic is assignable to content
-
Once a parent Topic is created, you’ll be prompted to add Sub-Topics
-
Use the three-dot menu to manage or edit existing Topics and Sub-topics
- There is no limit to the number of Topics you can create here
Adding Topics to Content:
-
In the authoring workflow, you’ll see a new Add a Topic field under the content body
- Search for and assign one or more Topics to your article, video or document posts
- Once published, assigned Topics appear in a sidebar on the content page, where users can follow or click through to view all related content on a dedicated topic landing page
Explore Topic Landing Pages
Each Topic has its own dedicated landing page with three tabs to help users dive deeper:
-
Content - Displays all posts tagged to the Topic, sorted by most recent. Includes a search bar for easy filtering.
- People - Lists both Contributors (those who’ve published under the Topic) and Followers.
- Sub-Topics - Shows all related Sub-Topics, helping members discover new areas of interest and follow them easily.
Personalised Activity Feed
When a member follows a Topic, all newly published content tagged to that Topic will appear in their personalised activity feed - making their experience more relevant, engaging, and tailored to their interests.
