Help:Structured Discussions/Topics

== Manage topics ==

=== Edit a topic/a message === Autoconfirmed users can edit any message, to fix problems or look at the wikitext.

The title itself can also be edited, but choosing the ... menu next to the topic's title, then selecting "Edit title".

When a message is edited, a new entry is added to the History page. The username of the last editor who changes the message is displayed below the message itself, on the timestamp. To see the differences between the edits, click on the timestamp.

When you edit a message, all basic editing applies.

=== Summarize a topic === Summarizing a topic will help people to understand what happened in the Topic. It can be done anytime: during the conversation to summarize what happened, or at the end after a decision is made. Summarizing the topic will be suggested when you mark a topic as resolved.

You can put links or templates in the Summary (like see also or tracked). All basic editing applies.

Logged-in users can summarize a Topic.

=== Resolve a topic === Resolving a topic hides all answers for that topic, and a check mark is added to the Topic title. Summarizing the topic will be suggested when you mark a topic as resolved. You can expand a resolved Topic by clicking on the Title or on the Summary. You can re-open a Topic anytime, by clocking on the Topic's menu (three dots icon). You need to reopen a topic to do any administrative actions (hide, delete, suppress).

A resolved topic is identified by a grey font color on the table of contents.

Logged-in users can resolve a topic.
