Best practices for organizing topics in Handbooks

• Structure topics the way your employees think about handbook content — for example, by role, area, or subject — rather than how the content is organized internally.
• Reorder topics regularly so the most relevant ones for your employees stay near the top.

Can I move an article from one topic to another in Handbooks?

Moving an article to a different topic is managed at the article level in Content Management, not from the Topics tab. The Topics tab only controls the display order of topics and of articles within a topic — it does not control which topic an article belongs to.
