Explore with the Discovery tab
The Discovery tab is where you go to explore and find topics. You can find what Flip’s partners recently shared, browse various featured topics and creators, or use the search bar to search for specific topics.
As you find topics, you're able to add and share them to both the groups you created and social media. You can also create a collection, which allows you to save topics of a similar theme together. Collections help you find topics you want to personally revisit easier.
The Discovery Library has multiple places where you can discover featured partners, topics, and creators. You can explore lists of topics that suit your interests and topics that are trending on Flip. You can also find a topic of the day and featured certified Flip ambassadors.
Flip is proud to partner with organizations around the world to curate topics for our community to use. Explore topics created by museums like The Met, support dyslexic students with Made by Dyslexia, utilize Wonderopolis who features a "Wonder of the Day" every day, or learn about how to be more diverse and inclusive with the Langston League. Discover all of Flip's partners.
