A Super Hashtag is a great way to differentiate best-in-class, authoritative or base-lined content from the rest on your domain. For example, Rules and Guidelines of a online community group, Legal or Financial or Leave Policies of a company, etc. Super Hashtags are mainly used for ranking content - the content tagged with a Super Hashtag is displayed at the top of the search results on the User Portal when a user runs a content search for the associated keyword. The latest content associated with the Super Hashtag takes top priority in the search results.
