📄️ Terms and alternative forms
A term is one entry in a glossary. This page explains what a term consists of and the rules the app applies when you save one.
📄️ How terms are found in text
The Glossary button under the page title, the Glossary item in the selection menu, the Term Highlight Block, the Only on page mode of the Glossary table and the Highlighter extension all use the same rules to decide whether a term is present in a piece of text.
📄️ Space, global and linked glossaries
A page in Confluence can get its terms from three places: its own space, the global glossary and the spaces it is subscribed to. The picture below shows the result for three spaces. Support is subscribed to Payments; Platform is not linked to anyone.
📄️ Languages
One term can hold its name, alternative forms and definition in several languages. This page explains how languages are chosen and which one a reader sees.
📄️ Labels
Labels are tags on a term. They group terms by topic, team or project, so that a long glossary can be narrowed down.
📄️ Editors and permissions
Everyone who can open a space can read its glossary. Changing terms and changing settings are separate rights.
