Once Smart Terms is installed, you can start creating your terms within a glossary. In Smart Terms, if a term is created within a space, its visibility will depend on the permission to view that space.

There are two ways to create a term: 

From the Terms Glossary

If a term is created from a space glossary, it will be attached to that space.

However, if you click on the "New term" button from the global glossary, the user will be asked to choose a space.

From Confluence pages

 

When selecting a text, you can create a Term inline using the "Add term" button. The term title box will be automatically filled with the selected text from the current page content.
