# Manage discussion threads

The day-to-day administration of topics (also referred to as “discussion threads”) is identical to that of categories or forums. You may, however, move a topic from one forum to another better suited,one.

| ![](/files/-LioWIm7ut_JpT_fuvuy) | Delete (after approval) the topic and all the messages it contained                                     |
| ![](/files/-LioWImJAGypcEEX77r7) | Control the visibility of a topic                                                                       |
| ![](/files/-LioWImQrSvG1VqnvhM3) | Lock / unlock a topic to forbid its modification (but its reading will still be authorized)             |
| ![](/files/-LioWIma9aBVOifJJBWB) | Move a topic to another forum                                                                           |
| ![](/files/-LioWImnUOT9w1OzwbRr) | Ask to be sent a notification by e-mail when a new answer is added                                      |
| ![](/files/-LioWImwkq_j6FgFGyLW) | Visualize the topic's participants and score their contributions if the topic has been marked as scored |

Moving a topic from one forum to another has to be done through a drop-down list. Select within that list the destination forum, then click on the “Move Thread” button to proceed. The effect is immediate.
