Normally, when a translator or a reviewer adds a new term to the term base, it immediately becomes visible to everyone else who uses the term base.

In some cases - especially when the end client is conscious about terminology -, this must be controlled more tightly. An organization can appoint a terminologist who can approve new additions. When this happens, new entries become visible to others only after the terminologist approves them. To make this work, you need to make a moderated term base.

To make the new term base moderated: Check the ModeratedModerated term base check box.

Normally, new entries appear only after the terminologist approves them. However, the term base can make them available immediately - in that case, some new entries disappear when the terminologist decides against them.

To make entries appear immediately in a moderated term base: Clear the Late disclosure check box.

Decide this when you create the term base: You cannot change this setting after the term base is created.
