If a topic is being shared across several CSP Maps, it would be good to have some sort of alert ensuring that the person changing the topic is aware of where the changes will appear.
Setting this as FUTURE, as this is impossible without some sort of ownership or subscription system (so you know who to alert), which in turn requires Authentication and user information. Currently you could do a search to find what Content Specs use a topic ie: <HOST>/pressgang-ccms-ui/#SearchResultsAndTopicView;query;tag268=1;topicXml=%255B<TOPIC_ID> Where <HOST> is the URL of the server and <TOPIC_ID> is the ID of the topic you are editing. We also have plans to actually add a field to do this in the 1.1 release so it's not so messy, but that is all that is available at this stage. eg: http://localhost:8080/pressgang-ccms-ui/#SearchResultsAndTopicView;query;tag268=1;topicXml=%255B3737
The above search is no longer necessary as of version 1.1, as it shows what content specs use the topic in the "Content Specs" tab in the topic editor.
