# Topic Creation: Topic Details Once you’ve finished the four steps of the **topic creation process** you will be able to access the **topic detail view** directly from the topic management area if your topic is **ready** or **published** status. If your topic is in **draft** status, you will be directed to finish the topic creation process. The topic detail view is useful when you may want to double-check how it was created, edit something of an already published topic, or you simply want to have a look at a ready topic before publishing it. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699440/170ea0e4f8c0393ed1229f7c/8ucWgu1_zWYcHD4NIerITtRG4TiGdKx6JmWkolqwFqlQ3s5Zkg7LZvxeTUUuFU0wpiR9SlbuyRXC8OQ84GRxTysSnRf29zdT61-5TaKUUZVhLLdo5xN7B1lcus-RH5WhIxZwESsY?expires=1618923600\&signature=e0637402d531e7b5a6a961afa6dc3d53d1673583f35eb1b8c14ec9ee18d9e6cb) When you click on the topic tile you will access the topic details view. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699447/3b721559f07f21c51c0f318f/Ri_kTHYbPD_BtN--GznA0w3larPVTetCdN_HOd9wn4h43wyrlkjf0YpsIMuzIi-DWLCX6VzmCnbhbyt7fi52DUPgIzMcKKhiN-48qm0A82iFy6pnkzEahmE0kc1nJR9Mz2euBpy2?expires=1618923600\&signature=fbf8c8b9edb002eef87331875a631f0b6c2d135628362c7bc620a8ad5c6bbf95) Here you see a preview of the topic visualization (in this case a [single line chart](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/visualizations/single-line#what-is-a-single-line-chart)) and all the topic details to be checked. If you click on **Edit** topic permissions you will be redirected to the [permission](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/permissions) view, where you can check or change the users or users’ groups that are authorized to see this topic. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699451/d773a82afda9de8f10c3773d/J1imyvH-qt9h2N1PmvqMGW56eYw0fdUDxscq0Jq9oZHlr1bgrY7TyFQxXlzNypx3mXKS8HcKti_pDnMXes9MwKX_KXo2Czaf6G-YvIb5Nt4jlDZl0kaET-L3AUqT63nI8EqLxetq?expires=1618923600\&signature=678b17e19d31484edbf122b06d2579abda3651c8418c4519241e3a7e679cd759) If your topic has [static filters](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/filter), you will have the opportunity to check and edit also the permissions for the filter values. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699453/e5df57ca447cbf3ecd579983/oxSKhBY8WEZ1XA1DI8mYMOSyMfWEMZKA-5En81J7S1z0_lG8HxqnhiJdmX-QONYZO0e9dSROnYYaKw0l1ViBpHWWvugJBHsDJlwd1cr8LuWd2LiwbfEWjEJTwDaz5L2ib-sJhLP2?expires=1618923600\&signature=f438356b99d6b57151941cd60f1066e47ea56a2b2c5a4d6f74bed1cd1640fe46) Back on the topic detail view, you will see a checklist of the four steps included in the topic creation process. If you click on the arrows next to each one, you will open the details related to every step of the process. If your topic is in **ready** status you can access the edit button of each step of the topic creation process. If your topic is in **published** status and you want to change something on the topic, you have to first click on **unpublish** to unpublish the topic. If you click on **Edit**, you will be redirected back to the step to change the topic details. The [connect ](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/connect)details show the data tables that the topic is based on. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699455/0f30ee68f1ba67e94e7c75cc/nDmULn7lEv4yfcVV86Z0EX2sCYcU4t7Oxc4sSWJrGXWBi69WlXvLAo1cF46dZcWxGjr0M1jf8Q7S1VNz3b8Y1-QKvK0XbMN3coiFSwTZcNnYy6DPCAU9Pe8rH3IYB_Lm5KA5Fnv7?expires=1618923600\&signature=328adbfdd7776f80c12324d716078b9a5ef6a614254f063cea16ffc631f94796) In the [configure ](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/configure)details we can see the type of objective and related visualization selected and the data that define the topic. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699465/253ed3e5fa66ea02f0530ce9/DdLVo-0WHltz-hDYdIJrx-Fi_Z8mm-BMIoJ776aNJXeOvqpkSq9PxA40z4aXvX8kVQxCnRuERTZ6RNqgfqGx70Kdtb7s-aXb10GjRbrQCR__GWId0rgxv3UpX3ZFX7agNIgdqB8e?expires=1618923600\&signature=f5ff7e3281e2a55668408aa171f5a51417f3080c549b25cadc2e527427186345) The [filter ](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/filter)step shows the dynamic filters, if present, that the topic is using: in this case **country** and **default time**. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699468/fb8187f25b05fac9d360ccae/F_ndRlbQJWpmmt3DSW3Wo8O7aIdysHinGZtvV9-LuaTGDhcGNuQppU2OLYOwaPDLinoqO5VxqNQt5k9EPgCOwBjfClDvg7YhLD3dWTSx8pElRfU1YoxeEOeRGdvobWxweOMTajZG?expires=1618923600\&signature=4eaf036f5e87305d4acf3a6201ef7a4f591b42df016592f263be82327782eb27) Last but not least, the [train ](https://docs.igenius.ai/crystal-console/topics-configuration/train)step detail shows the suggested questions for the advisor to retrieve the related insights. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699470/82e95f9c1c7fe4f0a99bfa1d/GGYnNTfoXFcfE6viVJs54Z2vyslpFdiy1LEL8D245yY2hWnqeOMOtAhov2EpfdR3i9Gh0aCBo9vYn9G3RGwviM5KXiWZImvZqmQmlNMTtyAtx10WshQ4KcnWASybOVCMy80pnv5H?expires=1618923600\&signature=91d56f4ac39befbe528730bef1cb2674d82cda0d5bf1511ffc2723adebc32ee0) Once you have revised all the topic details, if you want to publish this topic, click on **publish**: you will see the topic status changing from **ready** to **publishing**. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699480/6c29918de3aec47228be7ccf/SF564soae8X05FR3fbpmO6AHX6yxvZUO6W9mEUZ43vJKOLPNhR-phZ9zOnnHnQMSon1LAPC1bkf_0XMkuQzdZeJsYR3CPXBTrvirlcLsGGTh_d3lpBPrIDKPC3fJHXrQUbK7wZtM?expires=1618923600\&signature=2ecd36bbba2f7db6d0901c4590d16214429af10ca54cc4d1882c9f9576e4547c) Note that it usually takes a while for publishing a topic: in the meantime, you can click on **close** and go back to the topic area of the Self-Service Console to continue working on other topics. When the publishing process will be over, you will see your topic status change from **publishing** to **published**. You have to refresh the page to be able to see this change in status. ![](https://crystal-1aa63e8abb35.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/311699482/9a8ef7d6b8eca353d0dcbbd5/oJBr7V4CCu-USpPhnpKHOMHkadIslEZrzWuhWwtg0hIdMB1BcrXfiNiU2fbb1hbb6CahQafVhtI4gBnZa76MxsRm8y8dVOHx6RziI3joi6MKfX3hDGxMNUcFnQkLtjrDMXwqJF4G?expires=1618923600\&signature=c3bee34022b68411752f7f31e4164209d6670c140d54a9cbc6bc6a5c66724b3d) Great!
