You will be able to find the topics page as the third page in the left navigation menu in a project. This page is part of the content panel.
The topic window will give you quick updated overview of progress in the project, regarding the new/updated topics and open/closed topics.

The following topics will be described in this article:

If you click on the name of the topic board on the top left you will get a dropdown list of all topic boards in the project.

If there is more than one topic board in the project you will see the option All topic boards at the bottom of the dropdown list. Here the topics from all boards will be combined. This can be useful for finding a topic of which you are not sure in which topic board it was made.

The new item actions can be found in the hamburger menu next to the plus button on the top right of the page. See here for what the different actions do.

If there are unlinked statuses/types in a topic board you will see an orange warning message that there are unlinked fields in a topic board.
​Access required: Project administrator

Clicking on the link will take you to the unlinked fields area of the topic board settings where you can link all fields of one kind to an existing value in one go.

This is what the search or filter bar can look like:

If all open, closed or candidate statuses are shown they will be combined into a single filter box.

Click on the dropdown next to the combined filter box to see which statuses are being combined.

Press the x to the right to remove all filters.
