Permissions and Control

Dictionary management depends on user roles and entry ownership.

  • You can edit or delete words you have added to the dictionary.

  • You cannot edit or delete words added by other users in the workspace dictionary. However, you can still edit words at the guidde level.

  • Workspace admins can edit or delete any entry in the dictionary.

This ensures users can manage their own terms, while admins maintain overall consistency and control.

Key Behavior and Visibility

  • Dictionary rules are automatically applied across all guiddes in the workspace.

  • If a word already exists in the workspace dictionary, it will be marked in the transcript for visibility.

  • If the word does not exist, you’ll see an empty dictionary panel where you can create a new entry and choose whether to apply it once or add it to the dictionary.

  • Non-admin users can only access the dictionary via Workspace Settings (if permitted).

  • Guiddes created with pronunciation rules applied in the previous UI will keep their current formatting. If you edit a pronunciation, the new workspace dictionary panel will open, allowing you to apply the rule either to a specific instance or to the workspace dictionary.

That's it! By using the workspace dictionary, you can standardize pronunciation and spelling across your content, reduce manual edits, and ensure a consistent, professional experience everytime!
