#### What are the differences between a subtopic and the Filter Library?

* **Subtopic** are essentially subdivisions of a broader *Topic*, created to provide a better organization of content, you can use them to save a filter used to refine a Topic to, for example, focus on a sub-theme, \
  It's linked to the monitoring *Topic*. \
  You can find a *Subtopic* on the homepage and access it with one click, just like the other *Topics*.
