Topic Rollups can be created with a variety of different configurations. To determine the right configuration for you, please consult the following examples:

Suppose the topic-affinities (lytics_content) for a given user is defined as:

{
  "Chex Mix": 0.5,
  "Cheetos": 0.3,
  "Pretzel": 0.2
}

1) Overwriting Topic Affinities

// topic rollup
{
  "overwrite": "replace",
  "label": "Snacks",
  "topics": [
    {
      "label": "Cheetos",
      "value": 1.0
    },
    {
      "label": "Chex Mix",
      "value": 1.0
    }
  ]
}

// topic affinites for user: 
{
  "Snacks": 0.4,
  "Pretzel": 0.2
}

2) Add to Topic Affinities

// topic rollup
{
  "overwrite": "append",
  "label": "Snacks",
  "topics": [
    {
      "label": "Cheetos",
      "value": 1.0
    },
    {
      "label": "Chex Mix",
      "value": 1.0
    }
  ]
}

// topic affinites for user: 
{
  "Snacks": 0.4,
  "Chex Mix": 0.5,
  "Cheetos": 0.3,
  "Pretzel": 0.2
}
