2026-11-05 - Business Glossary: Agree Your Business Terms in One Place
=================================================================================

Release
==================
AgileData.io - Say What You Mean: The Business Glossary Arrives

Data only helps when everyone agrees on what it means. Is "customer" anyone who has ever signed up, or only people who have bought something? The new **Business Glossary** gives your team one place to agree these terms and keep them up to date.

Open **Manage > Business Glossary** to search, browse and edit your terms. It works like the Data Dictionary: you can filter by status, edit definitions inline, and use a menu on each term for other actions. Every save creates a new version, so the history view shows how a term has changed and lets you restore an earlier version.

Terms can be drafted by people, by ADI or by other AgileData agents. The **Drafts to review** tab is where a subject matter expert reviews them. It flags likely duplicates and lets you merge them, then make terms active (one at a time or all at once) or reject them. You can also export your glossary to CSV or Markdown.

To make room for the glossary, the screen that lists your tables and columns is now called the **Data Dictionary** everywhere.

**What's New:**

* A new Business Glossary page under Manage
* Search, status tabs, inline editing and full version history
* A review desk for drafts, with duplicate detection and merging
* Bulk "make active" for reviewed drafts
* CSV and Markdown export
* The table and column listing is now consistently called the Data Dictionary

**What this means for you:**

* One agreed definition for each business term, owned by a named expert
* Drafts written by AI agents get reviewed by a person before they become active
* A shared vocabulary for metrics, rules and reports
