# Start a new topic
|
|
|
|
Topics are a lightweight tool to keep conversations organized. You should
|
|
start a new topic whenever you're not replying to an existing message.
|
|
|
|
## Start a new topic
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
1. Click on a stream in the left sidebar.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **New topic** at the bottom of the app, or type <kbd>C</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
Don't worry about picking the perfect topic. The first 2-4 words that come
|
|
to mind are great.
|
|
|
|
Note that topics are not available for [direct messages](/help/direct-messages).
|
|
If you find yourself wanting topics in a DM, we recommend
|
|
[creating a private stream](/help/create-a-stream).
