Troubleshooting
Glossary term not rendering on the knowledge base site
If a glossary term is not appearing or rendering on the knowledge base site, one of the possible cause could be that the glossary term might have been deleted or is no longer available in the Content reuse page in the Knowledge base portal where you manage the glossary terms.
Steps to resolve:
In the Glossary page in the Content reuse section, confirm whether the glossary term exists. If it’s missing, the article that references the term won’t be able to render the term on the site.
If the term was deleted, recreate the glossary term using the exact same name as the deleted one. Document360 will recognize the term again and properly render it on the article page.
