# Create topic streams

You can create a topic stream from an existing project/stream or request. The topic stream become a child of the parent stream. The request is automatically related to the new topic stream’s pull request.

To create a topic stream:

1. In the desktop client, open the stream on which you want to base the topic stream.

2. On the toolbar, click New, and select Topic Stream.

   To create a topic stream from a request, open the request list, right-click a request, and select New Topic Stream.

   The New Topic Stream dialog box opens.

3. Specify or verify the following details:

   Field | Description
   --- | ---
   Topic stream name | The name for the topic stream. If you're creating the topic stream from a request, the default name is derived from the request ID. For example, if the request ID is QLARIUS_CR_5 the topic stream name is CR_5.
   Parent stream | The target stream or project to which work from the topic stream is merged. The topic stream content is based on the parent stream.
   Request | The request to be used to merge changes.

4. Select an option for the work area when the stream is created:

   - (Recommended) Rehome the current work area to the latest content of the parent stream in the repository.

   - Rehome a specific folder in the current work area to the content in the repository.

   - Create a new work area.

   - Assign a work area later.

5. (Optional) To give access to your topic stream to other users, click Next and add one or more users or groups.

6. Click Create.
