Copilot Studio Tutorial: Work with Topics

Topics in Copilot Studio are an important part of being able to control the flow of the conversation (conversational orchestration) in your Copilot. In this tutorial I take you step by step through how to build a topic by describing it, look at the elements and nodes you can add to topics, and explain when and why to use them. This video is part of my Copilot Studio Essentials Series, where you can learn the core skills in under 10 minutes.
