Facebook will begin introducing several features for group administrators in the coming days.

The social network is changing the format of topics for groups from tags to hashtags, giving admins and members a more familiar way to categorize and browse content.

Facebook said in a blog post, “Facebook groups are home to many valuable conversations, insights and ideas, but organizing posts so that people can easily find what matters to them can be a challenge. To help with this, we’re making changes to post topics.”

Topics can be created by admins or member, by adding hashtags to keywords or phrases when crafting posts.
