The Dynamic Glossary is an optional tool. It lists any terms with definitions that an author includes. It also permits users to find the first reference in the course to the glossary term.
A glossary covers an entire project and all its blueprints. If a term doesn't appear in a course generated by a blueprint, it will not appear in that course's glossary.
Project Settings
To make the glossary available, a Customer Admin enables it in the Project Settings, available by clicking on the Settings button in the Project Home:
Project Settings: toggle dynamically generated glossary at the end of the course
