## 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.
