Hello everyone

In WFA, all icons are greyed out in the TMs & Glossaries tab. I want to add a glossary. What should I do?

Thanks
Samuel

Open the TM & Glossaries tab ... Oct 14, 2015

Hi Samuel,

If you click on the "TMs & Glossaries" tab on the ribbon a window will open titled "TMs and glossaries management". On the left hand side are all the TM options and on the right hand side all of the glossaries options. You can add/create/upload/edit/merge/download and remove. It's all quite logical once you find the window.

You can have many as you want but only one TM and one glossary can be active, all the others have to be read only.

Not for me. When I click the TMs & Glossaries tab, it opens that tab, that contains a number of greyed out icons:



However, I side-stepped the bug by creating a dummy file and uploading it. Then the buttons became active.
