How to get the id of a created collection in MongoDb with mongoose?

Question

How can I get the id when I just saved a nested collection?

Code:

(Topic = schemaname from mongoose)
Topic.findByIdAndUpdate({_id: data.topicId}, {data that im inserting in the nested collection})

The topic is updated and a nested collection is added, also with an id. Is there a way to return the id of the inserted nested collection?

try with query option {new:true}

Topicopic.findByIdAndUpdate({_id: data.topicId}, {}, {new:true})
