Import synonym list
The Import feature is designed to simplify the addition of new synonyms from external sources into existing synonym lists, helping you to enhance your lists with updated terminology without creating entirely new lists. This means that you are not adding a brand new list but rather adding synonyms to an existing one.
Important
Before importing, ensure that the structure of the file with the new synonyms you plan to import complies with the format required by the CODING application. This can be achieved by doing one of the following:
-
Export any random synonym list (download it to your computer as an XLSX file), clear its existing data, and fill it in with new data.
-
Download a synonym list template and fill it in with the necessary data.
-
In the Coding Admin module application header, select the SYNONYM tab.
