Import and export glossary entries

As you build your glossaries, you may want to share them between courses or with other trainers. Fortunately, there’s a way to export and import glossary entries without needing to share your entire course structure.

Exporting glossary entries

1. Click the Export entries link at the top right of the main glossary page.
2. Click Export entries to file.
3. Save the automatically generated XML file on your computer.

Importing glossary entries (via an XML file)

1. Click the Import entries link at the top right of the main glossary page.
2. Browse for the exported entries XML file on your computer.
3. Select the destination for the new entries, either the current glossary or a new one.
4. If you want to import category information, click the checkbox.
5. Click Save changes.

You will then see a report of the entries and categories added to the glossary. If you enabled duplicate entries when you created the glossary, the import process adds all of the new definitions. Otherwise, it does not allow you to import any duplicate entries.
