No. You can pin featured topics in the app, but writing and editing content is done on web. When you tap "Edit" in the app, the handbook opens on web.

Why is a category empty?
The category has no published topics yet, or none of its topics are shared with you.

Do employees get notified when a topic is published?
Employees can get notifications about the handbook, depending on their notification settings.
