How to use the Abbreviation Expander.
Abbreviations can have several meanings. Use the supplied dictionary and context rather than expanding every matching letter sequence automatically.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Use a supplied glossary and the document's domain to identify abbreviations. Expand only intended matches, preserving case and grammar around them. Leave ambiguous abbreviations flagged until their meaning is confirmed rather than selecting a plausible expansion.
- What you provide

Decisions and troubleshooting.
How should an abbreviation with two plausible meanings be handled?
Show the alternatives and ask for the intended domain or glossary entry. Context may narrow the choice without proving it.
Why did expansion alter letters inside a longer word?
The replacement matched a substring. Use token boundaries or a reviewed match list appropriate to the text.
