Method 2: In a document, select the text you want to add as a new Lingo entry and click the
icon > Create Lingo Entry.
- When the selected text is fewer than or equal to 25 characters, it will be added as an entry name.
- When the selected text is more than 25 characters, it will be added as the definition.

- If you only have permission to copy the content in a document, you can only see the Create Lingo Entry option, but will not be able to add the selected text as a Lingo entry.
- If you select images or other non-text content (such as a mind map), the Create Lingo Entry option will not appear.
