# Topic Settings

Topic settings and naming rules allow for the enforcement of best practices when onboarding new teams and topics into your data platform.

## Topic configuration rules

Topic configuration rules can be used to enforce partition sizing, replication, and retention configuration during topic creation. Go to **Environments->\[Your Environment]->Admin->Topic Settings->Edit**.

## Naming conventions

By setting naming conventions you can control how topics are named. To define a naming convention, go to **Environments->\[Your Environment]->Admin->Topic Settings->Edit**. Naming rules allow you to select from predefined regex or apply your own.
