1. In Experience Workspaces, access featured topics by clicking **Content Management** | **Topics** | **Featured Topics**.
2. Enter the first few letters of the topic name in the search box. Select a suggested topic and click **Add**. Use navigational or member-created topics.
    
    ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/images/icon_tip.png)
    
    Tip Using Connect REST API, you can create unique featured topics that are separate from navigational or member-created ones.
3. Hover over a topic name, and click ![Edit topic icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/communities/images/communities_edit_topics.png). Then click **Upload thumbnail image**, and select an image that represents the featured topic on the site home page.
    
    Thumbnail images are scaled to 385 x 385 pixels. To prevent distortion, create image files with those dimensions.
    
    To ensure guest users can see featured topic images in your site, select Let guest users view asset files and CMS content available to the site in **Administration** | **Preferences** in Experience Workspaces. This selection also allows guest users to see images associated with recognition badges, site branding, and account branding.
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to create several featured topics for your site, up to a maximum of 25. Then click **Save**.

To edit featured topics, hover over a topic name.

- To move topics up or down, click the arrows at left.
- To delete topics or change their thumbnail images, click ![Topic settings icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/communities/images/communities_edit_topics.png).
