The Topics Library is available in the Cognexo Management Portal for Admin users. It provides a portfolio of ready-made, expertly curated, and managed topics that can be added directly into your organisation’s Cognexo instance.
This library was created in response to feedback from our customers, clients, and partners, who told us that the most time-consuming part of using Cognexo was:
Thinking of new content
Creating full topics from scratch
Understanding which topics they actually needed
To solve this, we’ve built a library of over 150 ready-to-use topics, covering a wide range of categories such as:
Corporate Compliance (e.g. GDPR, Competition Law, Consumer Protection)
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
Health and Wellness
Leadership and Management
Soft Skills (e.g. Active Listening, Communication Skills, Problem Solving, Reasoning)
Workplace Communication and Culture
Technology and Innovation (e.g. AI Adoption)
And even Fun and Engagement topics
The library includes knowledge topics, survey topics, assessment topics, and broadcast topics, giving you access to content across all four of Cognexo’s products.
Accessing the Topics Library
Log into Cognexo.
Click on your initials in the top-right corner.
Select Management.
If you do not see this option, you do not have admin permissions. Please contact your System Administrator.
In the left-hand menu of the Management Portal, click Topics Library.
You’ll now see a screen with tiles for each available topic.
Exploring Topics
Each topic tile shows:
Topic name (e.g. AI Adoption)
Number of questions in the topic
Tags and keywords for quick searching
Brief description of the topic
At the top of the library page, you’ll also find keyword filters. Simply click a keyword to filter the available topics.
To view more detail on a topic, click View Details. This gives you read-only access to the questions, so you can check whether the content is relevant for your use case.
Adding Topics to Your Instance
When you find a topic you’d like to use, click Get Topic.
You’ll then be given two options, 'Clone This Topic' or 'Take Managed Topic'
Here is a Cloned/Managed reference guide:
| Cloned Topic | Managed Topic | |
|---|---|---|
| Who manages updates? | Your organisation – you control all edits | Cognexo – updates automatically apply |
| Can I edit the questions? | ✅ Yes – add, edit, delete, or suspend | ❌ No – locked, edits not allowed |
| Customisation | Fully customisable to your policies, branding, and workflows | Fixed content. |
| Best for | Tailored learning, engagement, or culture topics | Compliance and regulation (e.g. GDPR) |
| Effort required | Ongoing – you maintain updates and accuracy | Minimal – Cognexo maintains for you |
After Adding a Topic
Once you choose either a Cloned Topic or a Managed Topic, the topic will appear in your own Cognexo instance under Topics & Questions.
If you cloned the topic, you’ll have an Edit button available, allowing you to adjust the content.
If it’s a managed topic, the Edit button will be disabled.
Back in the Topics Library, the tile for that topic will update to show that your organisation already has it. You can then simply click through from the library directly into the topic in your instance at any time.
