Let the debates begin! ## Creating a new topic You can create a new topic directly from the `New topic` button to the right of the button :pencil2: in the forum title area. A drawer appears, allowing you to define the topic: 1. Select the forum in which you want this topic to appear. By default, the open forum is selected. 2. Enter a **title** for this new topic (mandatory) and a **description** (optional). You can also associate a **tag** with your subject so that Spot members can find it more easily!\

3. Click on `Publish`: that's it, your topic is created! :clap:

{% hint style="success" %} You don't need to be a Spot Admin to create a topic: any member can do it! However, only Spot admins can associate a tag with a topic! {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} **Notifications**: Each time a topic is created, all admins (and only admins) are notified within the application and by e-mail. When a new message is posted in a topic, a notification within the application is sent to : * the topic creator * the members who have already posted a message in this topic. {% endhint %} ## Topic settings As an admin or topic creator, you can access the settings by clicking on the :pencil2: button below the topic presentation. {% hint style="info" %} Only admins and the topic creators can edit it. {% endhint %} A window opens and displays the topic details window, allowing you to **change the forum in which the topic is located, its title and description et les tags qui lui sont associés (à condition d'être admin du Spot).** Then click on the `Save` button at the bottom right of your edit window to make them effective. **You can modify them again at any time** by following the same procedure!

## Deleting a topic If you are a Spot admin or the creator of the topic, you can delete it at any time by clicking on the :pencil2: button below the topic description. A window opens, displaying the topic editiong details. At the bottom of this window, click on the `Delete` button. Finally, you must confirm the topic's delete action in the confirmation window.

{% hint style="danger" %} All delete action are final! You won't be able to recover the topic once you've deleted it. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.meltingspot.io/english/spot-content/discussions/topics-in-forums.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
