Community Template - Topic Details Page

The Topic Details page displays all of the default subtopics within the topic and all of the default topic postings. Administrators are able to edit or delete the topic, create subtopics, or create postings.

A community template contains default content, including a banner, an HTML widget, topics, and postings. A community template is created in order to be used with a cohort learning object (LO), and when a cohort LO is created using a community template, a cohort community is created with all of the default content from the community template. This enables administrators to quickly create new cohort communities for each new cohort, allowing each cohort to have their own unique experience.

To view the Topic Details page for a community template topic, click the topic title from the administrator view of the community template.
