How to create a Glossary widget
Add your terms
Create term and definition pairs, reorder entries, and build a glossary tailored to your industry or audience.
Customize layout and filters
Turn on search and alphabetical filters, choose list or accordion layouts, and adjust colors, spacing, and accents.
Embed it on your website
Preview the glossary, copy the embed code, and place it on help pages, product docs, courses, or any page with complex terminology.
Make complex language easier to understand
Search terms instantly
Let visitors filter the glossary by keyword across term names and definitions so they can find the right entry without scrolling through every row.
Browse with A–Z filters
Group terms alphabetically and add letter filters so longer glossaries stay easy to scan and navigate.
Choose list or accordion layouts
Show definitions in an always-visible list or use accordion rows when you want a more compact glossary section on the page.
Match your website style
Customize section backgrounds, term colors, definition colors, accents, card treatments, pagination, and optional scoped custom CSS.
