Topics to Follow

Let fans personalize their content experience by choosing interests

Overview

The Topics to Follow feature lets members personalize their experience by selecting interests they want to see more content about.

You manage it yourself under Settings › Topics.


How It Works

You organize topics into groups such as Sports or Greek Life. Each group holds a list of topics fans can follow individually. Fans pick the ones they want during registration, from their profile, or when prompted after their next login.


Managing topic groups

New Group creates a group. Give it a Name and, if you want to control the order groups appear in, a Position. Edit on any group changes the same two fields.

Inside a group, each topic is a chip. Topics are always listed alphabetically.

  • Add a topic: click the dashed + Add chip, start typing, and press Enter. As you type you'll see suggestions from names already in use, so you don't create near-duplicates.

  • Remove a topic: click the small ✕ on its chip.

  • Rename a topic: there's no rename. Remove the chip and add it back with the new name.

Note: Removing a topic — or deleting a whole group — stops it being offered to members going forward. Anyone who already follows it keeps their selection, and it comes back if you re-add it.

Settings

The Settings card at the bottom of the page controls the feature itself:

  • Enabled — turns Topics on for your program

  • Required — members must follow at least one topic

  • Show in Action Stream — Adds a follow card to the bottom of the fan feed

  • Title — what the feature is called for your fans (Ex. "Interests")

  • Description — the copy shown alongside the picker

  • Update instructions — the copy shown when a member is updating their choices

Click Save Settings when you're done.

Seeing what a member follows

Open any member from Members and go to their Profile tab. The Topics card shows everything they follow, and you can add or remove topics there. You're limited to the topics you've configured on this page, so a member's selections always stay inside the list you control.
