Frequently asked questions and answers

What happens if I edit a topic in the Topic Hub that is already scheduled in a meeting?

It is not possible to edit topics in the Topic Hub that have already been scheduled for a meeting. Only topics with the status "Open" can be edited.

What happens if I edit a topic in the agenda item on the agenda, will these changes also be reflected in the Topic Hub?

No, changes made in the meeting agenda are not reflected in the Topic Hub, as there is currently no sync between them.

What kind of documents can be added to a topic?

PDF and Microsoft Office documents can be added.

How do I know that my topic will be addressed in a meeting?

If a topic you created is scheduled, you will receive a notification and the status will change to “Scheduled”.

For how long can I add a topic?

There is no time limit to add a topic. As long as the status is "Open", you can keep editing and attaching documents.
