Pillar and topic taxonomy

Current pillar and topic taxonomy facts for Slash Social.

Pillar and topic taxonomy keeps pillars, topics, and campaigns consistent across planning, create flows, and reports. Admins and brand owners maintain labels from Settings; creators see those labels on posts and plans without editing the taxonomy.

What it includes

Taxonomy management lives in the Settings work center. The feature is in beta.

EntityPurpose
PillarsLong-lived content themes with post counts
TopicsFocus areas linked to a pillar
CampaignsTime-bound programs with status and post counts

Supported personas: admin, creator, and approver (creators consume labels; admins and brand owners add or edit taxonomy).

Campaign create and edit flows read from the same taxonomy data as the manager. New pillars and topics appear in create and plan pickers for the brand once saved.

How to use it

  1. Open App Home and switch to Plan or Settings, or type /social and open Settings.
  2. Open the Taxonomy Manager section when it appears for your role.
  3. Or choose Pillars under Content (admin access required).
  4. Use Add Pillar, Add Topic, and campaign actions from the manager or pillar list modal to create or update entries.

To verify changes, confirm new pillars and topics appear in create and plan pickers for the brand. Campaign rows in the manager should match the campaigns list elsewhere in Plan.

Taxonomy is brand-scoped. Pillars and topics you add apply to the active brand’s planning and create surfaces. Campaign status and post counts stay in sync with campaign lists in Plan.
