🎉 What’s new

You can now govern changes to associated terms using workflows!
Whether you're associating glossary terms, these actions can now be routed through approval workflows, bringing greater control, transparency, and accountability to your glossary management process.

✨ Let’s dig deeper

Glossary terms often play a critical role in defining business meaning across assets. With this update, actions involving associated terms—like adding a new associated term or removing an associated term—are now supported in governance workflows.

Here’s how it works:

🔁 Covered actions

You can now trigger approval workflows when users:

• ✅ Associate a glossary term to an asset
• ✅ Remove a glossary term from an asset

⚙️ Configurable in conditional governance workflows

In the workflow builder, you’ll find a new condition under Glossary-specific changes:
Link/unlink associated terms
Use this to build conditional paths and route requests to:

• Manual approvers
• Auto-approval if rules match

📨 Suggest and approve

When users attempt to make changes to associated terms, they’ll be prompted to submit their suggestion for approval, complete with an optional note. Approvers will be notified and can act on the request right from their inbox.

Why it matters: This helps ensure glossary integrity and consistent term usage across your organization—especially in federated data teams.

👏 Give it a shot

Head to your glossary governance workflows and enable approval for associated term changes. It’s another step toward comprehensive, governed collaboration in Atlan.
