[Topics](https://help.circle.so/p/basics/spaces/create-topics) help you organize your content by specific themes or categories. The bulk actions feature for posts allows you to add existing topics to multiple posts across spaces in bulk with just a few clicks. This saves you time and allows you to assign categories effectively across all your existing posts. 

## Key things to know

Here are some key things to know about adding topics in bulk:

- **Supported content:** You can bulk add a topic to content from posts and image spaces.

- **Availability** : This feature is available to all admins within your community on desktop or mobile web. Additionally, moderators can also utilize it for spaces they moderate. 

- **Filters** : You can utilize filters to narrow down post-selection to those with specific titles, authors, topics, and space locations.

## Add topics

To add a topic to posts, follow these steps:

1. To start, click the community name or logo in the top-left corner and select **Posts**. 

2. (Optional) To filter your posts, select the relevant option in the filters bar, enter your desired criteria, and click **Apply**.

3. Click the **Bulk actions** option below the filters bar and select **Add topic**.

4. In the **Add topic** dialog, select a topic from the list and click **Continue**.

5. Next, review the information provided, including the number of posts to which the topic will be assigned, and confirm the action by typing the confirmation key displayed in the prompt.

6. Click **Continue** to finalize the topic assignment.

## Access bulk logs

After confirming the topic assignment, a bulk log will be created with key information about the bulk action. 

You can access the logs by clicking the community name or logo in the top-left corner and selecting **Posts**. In the sidebar menu, click **Bulk logs**. 

Here, you can see logs for all the topic assignment actions using bulk actions, with information such as:

- **Action** : The type of bulk action performed.

- **Resource** : The name of the topic.

- **Created by** : The name of the user who performed the action.

- **Status** : The current status of the action (pending, started, succeeded, or failed).

- **Progress:** Displays the bulk action progress in real-time.

- **Output CSV** : A CSV file containing key details about each post involved in the topic assignment.

- **Created at** : The date when the bulk action was performed.

- **Post name** : Title of the post, if available.

- **Status** : The status of topic assignments (e.g., succeeded, failed, skipped, pending).
