Topic-based Authoring

Topic-based authoring is a method of creating content organized around specific subjects or themes, known as topics. Instead of writing linear, continuous documents, content is divided into individual, standalone units that focus on particular ideas. This approach makes it easier to update, reuse, and manage information, as each topic can be modified independently without affecting the rest. It’s commonly used in technical writing, online help systems, and content management to create flexible, modular content tailored for easy navigation and consistent updates.
