How to add terms to Knowledge Share
You can add the terms that you’d like to define in two ways:
- By going to the Knowledge Share page, clicking Add term, and selecting Add individual term:
- By opening the Knowledge Share page, clicking Add term, and choosing Import list. You will see the prompt to download a template, which you can fill in with the list of terms. Once that’s done, click Next in the same window and upload the file.
Additionally, you can benefit from our pre-set term lists by clicking Add term and selecting Add pre-set terms.
Once the terms have been added, Grammarly will highlight them for you and your team members. Hover over a highlighted term to surface its description, relevant documents, and key contacts:
