Change who can see topics in your organization

You can change the users who can see topics in your organization.

1. On the Topic visibility tab, under Who can see topics, select Edit.

2. On the Who can see topics page, you choose who will have access to topic details, such as highlighted topics, topic cards, topic answers in search, and topic pages. You can select:

   • Everyone in your organization
   • Only selected people or security groups
   • No one

   

3. Select Save.

Note

While this setting allows you to select any user in your organization, only users who have Topic Experiences licenses assigned to them will be able to view topics.

Prevent topic viewers from seeing suggested topics

You can prevent topic viewers from seeing unconfirmed AI-suggested topics in highlights and search results. This allows knowledge managers to review the topics first and confirm them before topic viewers see them.

To hide suggested topics from topic viewers

1. On the Topic visibility tab, select Advanced settings.

2. Under Control if AI suggested topics are visible to users, choose No suggested topics.

3. Select Save.

4. Close the advanced settings panel.
