 # How to manage term templates for business glossary
 
 Microsoft Purview allows you to create a glossary of terms that are important for enriching your data. Each new term added to your Microsoft Purview Data Catalog Glossary is based on a term template that determines the fields for the term. This article describes how to create a term template and custom attributes that can be associated to glossary terms.
 
 ## Manage term templates and custom attributes
 
-Using term templates, you can create custom attributes, group them together and apply a template while creating terms. Once a term is created, the template associated with the term cannot be changed.
