CNX Glossary
Make acronyms and company-specific terms easy to find, with definitions everyone can rely on.
Overview
CNX Glossary makes your organization's language easy to understand. Collect acronyms and specialized terms in one place, with clear definitions that everyone can find in seconds.
It helps new employees get up to speed, cuts down on repeated questions and keeps teams using terms consistently.
Features

- Clear definitions. Give every term a plain-language definition.
- Easy to find. Help people find the term they need without digging through long documents.
