1. What is a Topic?

A Topic in Spekit serves as a structured way to organize and group related Speks and Files, acting like a dynamic folder for easy access and management.

Enhanced Discoverability

Topics help teams find relevant information quickly, ensuring that knowledge is organized in a way that aligns with their specific role-based workflows.

Strategic Usability

By grouping content logically, you ensure your team has the right knowledge at the right time, whether they are in the Web App or the Chrome Extension.

Common Topic Use Cases:

  • Onboarding: SDRs – Centralized training content for new sales development hires.
  • BDR: Objections – Contextual responses for handling common sales pushback.
  • CSM: QBR Processes – Best practices and templates for Customer Success reviews.

 

2. The Power of Multi-Categorization

Unlike rigid, traditional folder structures, Spekit provides total flexibility in how your organization's content is accessed and categorized.

In Spekit, individual Speks and Files can belong to multiple Topics simultaneously. This allows a single case study to live within a "Success Stories" Topic while also being surfaced in a "Product Features" Topic, ensuring maximum visibility across different enablement initiatives.

 

3. Best Practices for Organization

Follow these industry-standard best practices to make your Topics accessible, visually appealing, and highly relevant to your team’s workflows.

Ensure Accessibility

Assign Topics to appropriate Teams to control who can view and manage them. This ensures users only see information relevant to their specific role.

Visually Recognizable

Add distinctive Icons to your Topics. A visually organized structure improves user engagement and significantly reduces manual search time.

Targeting & Relevance

Enhance relevance by linking Topics to specific web apps or URLs. This delivers contextual guidance exactly when they need it (e.g., in Salesforce or Outreach).

Clear Descriptions

Provide detailed Descriptions to explain the Topic’s purpose and intended audience. This helps users understand the value of the knowledge hub at a glance.
