Overview
Adding multiple words to your Glossary at once can save a lot of time and effort. With the bulk upload feature, you can upload words and their descriptions using a CSV or Excel file. This tutorial will guide you through the process step by step.
A bulk upload is especially useful when you have an extensive list of terms to add. For example, if your course includes technical jargon, you can organize these terms in a spreadsheet and import them all at once.
