Why this helps
Course topics can retain old names after a lesson plan changes, making it harder for students to find the right material.
- Keep topic names consistent with current lesson plans.
- Reduce repetitive course cleanup after planning changes.
- Make course materials easier for learners to scan.

- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to rename the matching Classroom topic when a Linear issue changes the name or focus of a lesson unit.
- 4Pick the Linear Issue Updated trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real lesson-name change and verify the correct topic.
