# 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"

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.
