Glossary
The Glossary panel allows a map to be parsed. You can create a Glossary topic file and include it in a common Glossary map. This map can then be added to other maps. Using the Glossary makes it easier to consistently phrase information and provide better clarity to the reader.
Sample files that you may opt to use for this lesson are provided in the file glossary.zip.
