# General Translation Platform: Actualizar un término del glosario
URL: https://generaltranslation.com/es/docs/platform/openapi/reference/context-management/update-glossary-entry.mdx
Docs index: https://generaltranslation.com/llms.txt
Description: Actualiza la palabra clave o la definición del término. Si se omite un campo, se conserva su valor almacenado. null borra un campo que admite valores nulos o elimina una entrada de un mapa; los demás campos rechazan null. En lotes e importaciones, los elementos se emparejan con los elementos almacenados por clave natural, los elementos almacenados que no figuran en el lote no se modifican y no se elimina nada más. Una celda CSV vacía se considera ausente. Al renombrar la palabra clave, se conservan el ID del término y sus traducciones. Renombrar con una palabra clave que ya usa otro término devuelve 409. Requiere org:context:write. Referencia de la API para Actualizar un término del glosario.

## Endpoint

`PATCH https://api.gtx.dev/v2/context-groups/{groupId}/glossary/{entryId}`

**Operation ID:** `updateContextGlossaryEntry`

**Tags:** `Context Management`

**Summary:** Update a glossary term

Updates the term's keyword or definition. An absent field keeps its stored value. `null` clears a nullable field or removes a map entry; other fields reject `null`. In batches and imports, items match stored items by natural key, stored items absent from the batch are untouched, and nothing else is deleted. A blank CSV cell counts as absent. The term ID and translations are kept when the keyword is renamed. Renaming to a keyword another term already has returns 409. Requires `org:context:write`.

Authentication: required. Send an API key in the `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header when authenticating.
