Hello,

I can't find the option to display or not a topic's description.

I click on edit (edit section, edit topic, edit settings) but no luck.

It's not a big deal but before a couple of days I saw this option, so I know it's somewhere smile

Thanks.

Are you sure you are not thinking of the box available within activities, to show or not show the activity description?

Thank you Mary,

below my course title I have my Topics, 1 through 10, and every Topic comes with description as default.

This is what I'm trying to disable or enable as desired, not the activities description (which I have find where it is).

Hello. Could you post a screenshot of what you see in your course please? I think if you have a description (do you mean 'Summary'?) in your topic section then the only way not to show it is to delete the description/summary.

Hi, please check my image : I'd like to add, let's say, for Topic 1 (below Topic 1 exactly) 3-4 words as a description.

So if you click the the Edit link on the right of a topic, eg Topic 1 and then you click Edit topic, you can put your three /four words in the summary of that topic and they will display. If you don't add anything in a topic where you don't want anything displayed, then obviously nothing will show. I'm sorry if I have misunderstood youblush
