Glossary Question
I've never used the glossary much before, so forgive me if this is simple.
I know how to add terms to the glossary, but my question is, can you link a glossary term to text on the screen so that it's clickable, and then it would open the glossary and display that selected term?

I realize I could probably just make a layer to show the definition, but was trying to incorporate the glossary functionality as well.
Hi David,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create in your course.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.

Ok thanks! It'd be a cool way to make the glossary more dynamic and relevant to specific slides.

I'm also trying to do the same thing- use the glossary not just as a list they can view as a whole, but allow people to see a link within the text and click on it and view the glossary term. Currently, what is the functionality of the glossary?

Hi Allison,
The glossary is a place to hold terms and definitions related to your course and is a quick reference available within the course.
As discussed above, we are tracking a feature to link directly to the glossary from the slide content to make the glossary a more dynamic tool within courses.

I have been looking for the same thing. Hoping this feature will be available soon!

Hi All,
I've been looking for a feature like this, too. Is there a way to track the status of this feature request somehow via a link?
My specific goal is to have a functionality within the slide notes to be honest. I thought of something working similar to a marker (when hovering over the text or clicking a box should pop up containing the text of the glossary term). But in contrast to the marker there shouldn't be some symbol, but more like a highlighted text using some different color or dotted underlines...
Thanks in advance,
Nic
