Topics

Topics are a tool used to structure content on Tigerhall. Every piece of content needs a topic or subtopic tagged to it. This helps users identify and access content easily.

Topics live inside an initiative. Each initiative has its own topic structure, covering the content in that program. Check which initiative you are in before creating or editing topics — see Switching between initiatives.

How do I create topics?

Head to Topics in your initiative:

1. Click Create Topic in the top right corner

2. Add details such as the topic name, an emoji to help users associate with the topic, and Groups with Access

3. Click Create

How do I create subtopics?

Click on the topic or subtopic node under which you wish to create a new subtopic. Click the Create Subtopic icon in the extension you see.

What does Groups with Access do?

Any group that you add under Groups with Access will be able to view the topic on their homepage.

A topic's visibility restrictions apply to all trails and content within it.

Example: if "CEO Communications" is visible to everyone, but certain content should be restricted to the Leadership group, create a subtopic like "Leadership Knowledge" and tag that content there. This allows for segmented visibility while preserving the overall topic structure, ensuring knowledge is shared securely without compromising confidentiality.

How do visibility restrictions work for subtopics?

Subtopics inherit their parent topic's visibility restrictions, and only allow restriction removal, not addition.

Example: if Topic A is visible to the Product and Engineering groups, Subtopic A can be visible to either or both, but new groups cannot be added. To include a new group, the parent topic must also be visible to that group, ensuring seamless discoverability.

In what order do topics appear for end users?

The way topics appear for end users is determined by how they are arranged in the Topics section.

How does re-ordering subtopics work?

You can reorder subtopics using the up and down arrows attached to each subtopic node. Re-arranging this order affects the order in which subtopics are presented to end users.

How do I delete a topic or subtopic?

Click on the topic you would like to delete and click the delete icon.

If the topic has content pieces tagged to it, you must move those pieces into another topic or subtopic before deleting it.

How do I make a topic visible to everyone?

Tag the topic to the group All Users in Initiative. Everyone in the initiative will then be able to see it.

All Users in Organization is a different group. It still exists, but it is used for adding users to an initiative rather than for scoping topics or content. Do not use it to control topic visibility.

Can I copy subtopics across different topics?

No. Subtopics are meant to be unique to a particular parent topic, to maintain the proper hierarchy of the topic structure.

What is a topic content creator?

Topic content creators are groups of users who have access to creating content on a particular topic. They can reach the content creation pages — Creator Studio, podcasts, power reads, videos, broadcasts and trails — but are limited to seeing and creating content on their topics only.

This is a useful way to decentralize content creation across teams and encourage collaboration during the content creation process.

If you have access to create content in Topic A, you have both viewing and creation rights in all of its subtopics as well.

Can a user belong to multiple groups with different topic permissions?

Yes. A user can have various topic permissions based on the groups they belong to.

If I remove a user from a group, is their topic content creation access revoked immediately?

Yes. Once a user is removed from a group, they will not be able to create content on the topics they had access to.

During content creation, do topic creators see only their assigned topics?

They can see the topic tree for context, but will only be able to select the topics they have access to.

Is there a limit on how many groups can be added per topic?

No. There is no limit on the number of groups added to a particular topic for content creation.
