On the Topics screen, you can see all the topics you have access to. Topics are used to group related items of content together in chapters so that they are ordered and structured.
Example: A topic called "Health and Safety" might contain lots of different items of content related to health and safety best practices at a company, divided into chapters to help organise and break down this information. This topic could then be shared with employees to help them understand the health and safety rules they must follow while at work, or it could be added to a learning plan as a module within it. You can also add different types of assessments to content and chapters within a topic to test your user's knowledge.
