## New Glossary Experiences!  Key Changes?

The Glossary app has undergone a major revamp, making term management smoother and more user-friendly

 We’ve focused on cutting down unnecessary steps, modernizing the interface alongside the Attlassian interface revamp, and aligning the experience with the way teams work with the glossary

Here’s what’s new:

- **Faster Glossary Creation**: Simplified setup with **fewer steps**—**no more pop-up**s or mandatory language settings
- **Easier Term Creation**: Adding terms became **faster** with an in-context flow,** no more long modals**
- **One-page App Navigation**: Everything you need is now in **one place**, no more jumping between pages
- **Enhanced Search & Filtering**: A more familiar experience aligned with **Atlassian's design**, making it **easier to find what you need**

 

## What’s new?

### 📘 Glossary Creation

Creating a glossary is now **faster **and more intuitive. We've** removed unnecessary steps**, making it easier for anyone to get started without w**orrying about language** settings or pop-ups.

### 📝 Term Creation

Adding a new term is now a **harmonious **experience. There are **no more pop-ups** or long forms: just a **quick flow **that helps you focus on the content itself

### 🧭 App Navigation

We’ve simplified navigation by keeping everything on one page—n**o more jumping between multiple pages**. Furthermore, we made filtering and searching more consistent with the Atlassian look and feel. It’s now simpler, **more familiar**.

## How to use?

The Glossary app is designed to help you build, manage, and integrate an unlimited number of terms within dedicated, centralized glossaries. Additionally, the highlights feature allows you to find and access terms (along with their definitions and metadata) through a simple click directly within other spaces and pages. This contributes to revamping the overall wiki experience and allowing your teams to access useful information in a quick and timely manner.
