Glossary Auto-Approval for Suggested Terms

Smartcat automatically approves a suggested glossary term once it receives enough matching proposals. When users suggest the same term, or Smartcat suggests it based on edits made in the CAT editor, enough times to meet the Proposals needed rule, Smartcat adds the term to the glossary without anyone reviewing it. Teams that don't manage their glossaries by hand no longer have suggested terms accumulating indefinitely in the workspace.

The rule is configured on the Suggested Terms tab and applies to every glossary in the workspace. Setting the number of proposals needed anywhere from 1 to 20 makes approval as strict or as permissive as a team prefers, and a value of 1 approves every suggestion immediately.
