2. Edit the properties
3. Select a glossary from the repository
4. Choose the training mode (asking for term, definition or second definition)
5. Set the training online and save the properties
6. Click "Update Cards from Glossary" to fill the training with content

Changes to a term or definition in the glossary will automatically be reflected in the training. Newly added terms in the glossary will not automatically be added to the training. Use "Update Cards from Glossary" to add them.
