These steps outline how to add topics in Salesforce Classic. In Lightning Experience, when you post or comment, add a topic by putting a hashtag (#) in front of your topic terms, for example, #sales quotas.

Note All topic names appear in the topics list and all topic names and descriptions are searchable. This visibility includes topics that are used solely in private groups or on records.

1. In the top corner of the post, click ![Feed drop-down arrow](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/chatter_feed_dropdown_arrow.png).
2. Click **Add Topics** or **Edit Topics**.
3. In the topic editor, start typing your text. As you type, you can pick a topic from the list of suggestions, or keep typing to create your own unique topic. To add more than one topic, type a comma after each topic.
    
    Commas ( , ) and closing square brackets ( \] ) automatically end a topic. Other punctuation, symbols, and separators are supported in topic names. Topics are case and space insensitive.
    
    Posts can have up to 10 topics.
4. When you’re done adding topics, click **Done** or press ENTER.

A topic becomes a link to its detail page. On the topic detail page, you can see all the posts that you have access to that use the topic.

When you add topics to posts that contain files, the topics are also added to those files.
