How to use the content design glossary template
Step 1. List commonly used design terminology
To create a robust content design glossary, start with the terminology your team uses regularly. To focus your thinking, imagine you’ve recently joined your company and need to quickly get up to speed on a project. Use this section to list and define the product names, industry terms, and other content you’d need to learn how to use.
Step 2. Get feedback from content designers
Before you publish your glossary, seek advice and feedback from writers, designers, and other creative partners. You can use the template to @ mention team members and clarify open questions on the terms you’ve already defined. Leverage your design team’s expertise to add more terms to the template if they notice any gaps.
Step 3. Add terminology examples
Your content design glossary should be a living document that’s frequently updated as it evolves. Keep your glossary fresh by adding terminology examples to each definition. You should ideally include both an example of how to use the term correctly and incorrectly.
