Compliance Glossary for Confluence

How do I find non-preferred synonyms?

Add the known synonym to its governed term, then run Compliance Scanner. Production v6 can identify configured synonym usage and point reviewers to the preferred approved term. Review each page-linked finding, update the content when required, record the disposition and reason, and rescan to establish the new state.

How it works

  1. Add the known synonym to the governed term.
  2. Approve the term through normal review.
  3. Open Compliance Scanner.
  4. Select the space and Scan Space.
  5. Review synonym findings and preferred terms.
  6. Correct the page, record the reason, and rescan.

Example

The approved term is “service interruption,” while several pages use the configured synonym “outage event.” The scanner links those pages to the preferred wording. Owners review context, update controlled content where required, and rescan.

What this does not mean

Synonym matching depends on configured governed data. It does not understand every linguistic variation or decide whether a local exception is justified. Human review remains required.
