As a course creator, you can change the title and overview text of your topics and articles by accessing the content in edit mode.

To do this, navigate to the relevant content via the Knowledge tab or from your explorer dashboard and select the Settings menu on the top-left of the creator screen.

In the Settings menu, select Update overview. From here, you can:

  • Update the title by clicking the current title text and making your change, as required.
    ​

  • Update the overview text using the relevant text boxes further down the page.
    ​

You can also add or change your overview image and optionally include a disclaimer (or guidelines) for the course and notes to be displayed on the completion certificate. Learn more about creating an effective Overview here.

IMPORTANT! If your topic or article is already published, you'll need to publish an update for the new title and overview text to be visible in the published version.

NOTE: You cannot edit the title or overview of imported library topics.

Can't click on your Topic or Article title?

This generally occurs because there is a carriage return at the end of the topic or article's title.

A 'carriage return' is when there's an extra space at the end, i.e. someone has entered the title and then pressed enter so it puts in a second line in the title.

To resolve the issue, you'll need to remove the carriage return from the title.

Follow the below steps:

  1. Click on another topic or article in the list to open it's Overview page (we recommend opening in a new tab).

  2. In the URL of the topic or article you have opened, replace the ID with the ID of the topic or article that cannot be clicked on.

  3. ​Example: 'yourorganisation.tribalhabits.com/org/admin#/knowledge/topics/REPLACENUMBERHERE/overview'.

  4. Follow the steps in the attached article for updates to titles

  5. Ensure that there is no extra line in your title (your cursor should be at the end of the text and not on a new line).

  6. Navigate back to the Topics or Articles tab in Knowledge and check your title is now a link.

Note: If your topic or article had previously been published, you will need to republish for the name change to take effect.
