# Glossary
The glossary tool lets you define key terms for your course. Learners can browse the glossary to look up definitions while studying.
## Adding a Term
1. Open the **Glossary** 
tool from the course homepage
2. Click **Add new glossary term**
3. Enter the **term** and its **definition** (the definition supports rich text formatting)
4. Save
## Managing Terms
* **Edit** 
— Update a term or its definition
* **Delete** 
— Remove a term from the glossary
* **Search** 
— Use the search function to find specific terms quickly
## Importing and Exporting
You can build your glossary faster using import/export:
* **Import** 
— Upload a list of terms and definitions from a CSV or XLS file. You can also tick "Update existing terms" to overwrite definitions for terms that are already in the glossary.
* **Export** 
— Download the glossary as CSV, Excel (XLS), or PDF for use in another course or for offline reference
## Display Options
The glossary can be displayed in two formats, toggled from the toolbar:
* **Table view** — Terms listed in a table with their definitions
* **List view** — Terms shown as individual panels stacked one after another
## Tips
* **Build it progressively** — Add terms as you introduce them in your course, rather than all at once
* **Keep definitions concise** — Short, clear definitions are more useful than lengthy explanations
* **Link from learning paths** — Reference glossary terms from your learning path content to encourage learners to use the glossary
