# Adding Glossary

## Overview

At Toucan, we believe in sharing more than data: we share stories. Stories need content and explanations.

Good stories push you to take action! That’s why we have the [Collaboration Panel](https://github.com/ToucanToco/doc-v3/blob/main/visualizations-and-layouts/apps/customizing-apps/broken-reference/README.md).

From this panel, you can make a **Glossary** available to all your users 📖 .

You can specify a glossary for your whole application. Terms can be specific to a story or common to several or all.

🔥 Awesome tool for strong data storytelling, right?

## Create a glossary

Terms can be set up at the **story** level directly from the Studio.

1. Click on the "Glossary" menu left-hand navigation from a Story.

2. Click on "Add New Definition"

<div align="center"><figure><img src="/files/y2tb6ysAWCk4HiT57Jtn" alt="" width="343"><figcaption><p>Glossary panel</p></figcaption></figure></div>

3. Write the Term label and the definition related to it. Always better with a definition.\\

If you want this definition accessible throughout your apps from any Story, tick "Make entry available on all stories." It will appear in Staging with a greyed tickbox on the right side.

#### 🌍 Language in the Glossary :: How to manage different languages?

If you want to add a glossary in different languages: Please check the documentation about the languages 💡 You can apply translations in your terms title and their description.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-v3.toucantoco.com/visualizations-and-layouts/apps/customizing-apps/adding-glossary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
