You can open a glossary at any time in the Glossary Editor to modify its contents. For each glossary that you open to edit, an independent instance of the Glossary Editor opens in a separate tab, allowing you to edit multiple glossaries at one time. When you edit a glossary, you can add, edit, or delete glossary terms, where each glossary entry consists of a term (the text to be matched for markup), a link to an attachment that provides its definition, a tooltip (optional), and markup conditions (match whole word and/or match case).
After making any changes to a glossary, you should update glossary links to apply your changes.
Multi-user Considerations
Before you can perform this action, you must check out the document. After you save any changes, you should check in the document to make it available to other authors and add the changes to the Developer's version control system.
When you add, edit, or delete glossary terms, you are editing the glossary document, so you must check the glossary out. When you assign a glossary to a document or update glossary links, you are not editing the glossary document itself, so you do not need to check the glossary out. In these cases, you are editing the parent documents to which the glossary is assigned, so you must instead check out the parent documents.
To edit a glossary:
From the Library, open the glossary document that you want to edit.
When you close a glossary document to which you have made and saved changes, you are prompted to update glossary links. Click Yes to update links for all documents to which the glossary is assigned, or click No to close the glossary without updating links.
If you have not saved the changes before closing the glossary, you are prompted to save the glossary and update links, to save the glossary without updating links, or not to save the glossary. Select the appropriate option and click OK, or click Cancel to keep the glossary open without saving changes.
