# Topics A topic is a buyer question in the company’s queue for future articles. ## Read Up next The queue separates topics by section. Up next contains candidates for the next articles. Read the evidence for a topic before keeping it. ``` recala topics list --section up_next ``` ``` recala topics why ``` ## Keep, dismiss or add Approving keeps a topic in the workflow; it does not approve an article. Dismiss proposals you do not want. Add a specific buyer question when the queue is missing one. ``` recala topics approve ``` ``` recala topics dismiss ``` ``` recala topics add "What should a buyer check before choosing our product?" ``` ## Turn a topic into an article Preview the cost before generation. A topic may be blocked, or the plan may have no articles left. Autopilot also draws from the queue when it is enabled. ``` recala article create --topic --dry-run ``` Continue with [Articles and checks](https://recala.co/developers/articles/) to understand the draft, review and publication states.
