How do I add terms to the glossary?

When in the glossary overview, click on +Term to add a term to the glossary. This term will be underlined in the content parts. When creating a new term, you also need to add a definition (or discription) to explain that specific term. This text will be shown when clicking on the underlined word. You can also add a synonym to that specific term. You can add this by clicking on +Synonym in the glossary overview.
