    Formatting options

    • Basic text formatting options such as Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, and Underline are available

    • You can also use the other formatting options such as Font size, Font Family, Text color, Background color, Subscript, Superscript, and Clear Formatting

    • Ordered List and Unordered List are available for listing the items

    • You can use Insert Image to insert an image from the URL, local storage, or Drive

    Same glossary term in multiple languages
    • When a glossary term is not added under Global, you can add it in various languages
    • When a glossary term is added under Global, you cannot add it at the language level

    For example, if you wish to add the glossary term "TXT record" in multiple languages, add language-specific glossary terms and definitions in each language. When you add that glossary term under Global, it cannot be added at the language level.
