Chapter 19 — Glossary

A consolidated alphabetical lookup of every term defined in the user guide. Each entry gives a short plain-language definition and links to the chapter that explains it in context. If you want to look up the UI element by name instead of the concept, use the Keyword Index — it covers menu items, button labels, and tab names too.

Conventions:

A term in bold is the canonical name used in the UI.
Italic cross-references point at related glossary entries.
"→ Ch. N" links to the chapter that goes deeper.
