Create and manage topics

I want to …

… create themes, attach them to tasks and notes, and later rename or delete them.

Before you start

  • Topics group work. A task or a note can carry one topic.
  • Every member can create, rename, and delete topics.
  • The old Epics path redirects here.

Here's how

  1. Open Settings in the workspace.
  2. Under Workspace, open Topics. It sits under Members.
  3. The Topics tab is selected. The other tab is Tags.
  4. Tap the plus New topic.
  5. Enter a Topic name and an optional Description. Save.
  6. The list shows name and description. The pencil edits both; delete removes the topic.
  7. The search at the top right expands from a magnifier. Escape or the close icon clears and collapses it.
  8. To put a topic on a task: open the task and pick Topic in the header, or use the topic pill on the card. On the web the empty pill appears when you hover the card.
  9. The same menu ends with New topic. Choosing it opens the editor, creates the topic, and assigns it immediately.
  10. A note has the same Topic pill in the header, next to private or public. The notes list shows the topic on the row.
  11. In a description, type # plus the name to link the topic.

The result

Topics exist in the workspace. Tasks and notes can carry one, and the board can filter by them.

Common questions

What happens to tasks if I delete a topic?

The tasks stay. The topic drops off them.

Can a task have several topics?

No. One topic per task. Use tags for extra labels.
