 In Topics, stakeholders in your organization might want to make sure that specific topics aren't discovered and exposed to your licensed users. For example, you might be working on a project that you don't want to expose any information about yet. While Microsoft 365 permissions on sites, files, and other resources will prevent users from viewing sensitive information in topics, there are additional safeguards to prevent specific topics from ever being discovered.
 
 While knowledge admins control the settings to prevent topics from being discovered, knowledge managers and other stakeholders need to know how it is done so that they can work collaboratively.

 Topics organizes information into knowledge in your Microsoft 365 environment. We have all experienced reading through documents and site pages where we encounter terms we're unfamiliar with. Many times we stop what we are doing to spend precious time searching for more information.
 
 Topics uses Microsoft Graph and AI to identify **topics** in your organization.  A topic is a phrase or term that has a specific meaning to the organization, and has resources related to it that can help people understand what it is and find more information about it. There are lots of different types of topics that can be important to your organization. Initially, the following types of topics can be identified:

But what content should be used for topic discovery? How do you maximize the content that is indexed, while staying in control? The more content is in scope, the better the insights the artificial intelligence can discover.

 Topics uses existing content security features in Microsoft 365, along with administrative controls, to control what AI-generated content is shown to users in your organization. It is the combination of Microsoft 365 security settings (permissions to sites, files, and folders) and Topics admin settings that determine what a given user can see in topics.
 
 Setting up Topics does not modify any existing access controls on content in your organization. Users can only see what they already have access to.
