Note: features described in this guide are available only in Pro+ and Ecommerce versions.

To use the functionality you just need to navigate to the post/page editor on the Admin Dashboard and once you're there find the CM Tooltip - Filter Terms metabox in the right column.

Then, fill the provided field with Terms you want to put on whitelist or blacklist. Finally choose list type: Whitelist or Blacklist. Update the post or page to save changes.

Remember: If you decide to use this field, and select the "Whitelist" then for this page only the terms which are on this list and are defined in the Glossary will be highlighted in the content. If you choose "Blacklist" instead, selected terms will not be highlighted on the page.
