How Do I Manage Topics?

Create a topic

All topics belong to a Confluence space. This is important. Attachments and permissions won’t work properly otherwise.

Input the name of the space to which the topic should belong, then enter the topic name. To apply your changes, click on the Save button.

Edit a topic

You can change the name of a topic by clicking the pen icon in the “Actions” column.

Move a topic

You are able to move a topic and all its microposts to another space.

1. Click on the “three-dots” button to open a context menu.
2. Click on the Move topic button. A dialog will appear.
3. Select a space and click on Move topic button again.

Depending on the number of microposts within the topic, this operation may take some time.

Remove a topic

There are two slightly different ways to remove a topic.

Remove a topic which contains no microposts

1. Click on the “three-dots” button to open a context menu.
2. Click on the Dissolve topic button.
