Zulip's [topics](/help/introduction-to-topics) help you keep conversations
|
|
organized, but you may not need topics in some channels (e.g., a social channel,
|
|
or one with a narrow purpose).
|
|
|
|
If you have permission to administer a channel, you can configure it to only
|
|
have the special “*general chat*” topic. The name of this topic is shown in
|
|
italics, and is translated into [your language](/help/change-your-language).
|
|
|
|
Users won't need to enter a topic when sending a message to a “*general chat*”
|
|
channel.
|
|
|
|
## Configure a channel to have only the “*general chat*” topic
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<TabItem label="Desktop/Web">
|
|
<FlattenedSteps>
|
|
<NavigationSteps target="relative/channel/all" />
|
|
|
|
1. Select a channel.
|
|
|
|
<SelectChannelViewGeneralAdvanced />
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Messaging permissions**, set **Allow posting to the *general chat*
|
|
topic?** to **Only “general chat” topic allowed**.
|
|
|
|
<SaveChanges />
|
|
</FlattenedSteps>
|
|
</TabItem>
