What is Simple Glossary?
Simple Glossary is a Confluence Cloud application designed to maintain terminology consistency across organizational documentation. It creates a centralized glossary where terms can be defined in multiple languages, ensuring all team members access accurate definitions regardless of their language preference.
The tool integrates seamlessly with Confluence through a browser extension that highlights terms inline on pages and displays definitions on hover. It stores all glossary data within the Confluence instance using Atlassian Forge, guaranteeing data privacy and security without external servers.
