### Why am I unable to approve a glossary update request?

If you encounter either of the following error messages while attempting to approve a glossary update request - `Request modification failed, try again` or `response status code does not match any response statuses defined for this endpoint in the swagger spec (status 409): {}`, following may be the reasons why:

- The term or category to be created is already present in the glossary.
- The term or category to be updated has been archived.

If neither of the above is true, reach out to [Atlan support](https://docs.atlan.com/support/submit-request) for help with debugging the issue.
