I am using Captivate 2017 Blank Project

I have created a Glossary widget according to Dr. Pooja in 'Adding a Glossary Interaction in Adobe Captivate 6 courses' then followed her instruction in ' Making the Glossary interaction available throughout the course in Adobe Captivate 6'.

My Glossary is sitting on my 1st blank slide, should it be in my master slides instead?

My Glossary won't preview and I cannot work out what I am doing wrong!

Have you added any text for terms and definitions so far to your Glossary?

If this is HTML5 output, have you tested the glossary AFTER uploading to a web server?

I have added all my definition text and images to some of these definitions.

I have tested in preview > HTML5 in browser.

OK then the MOST likely reason why your Glossary is not showing up in the published output is that you have inadvertently included certain punctuation marks in your terms or definitions. If you check through the text, do you see any Ampersands (&), parentheses (especially in the Term text), chevrons (<>)?

If so, strip all of these out and try again.

I personally prefer creating an XML document (in the format suggested by the learning interaction) so that I can use the same document to insert glossary text across multiple course modules rather than having to add them in manually each time. That also makes it easier to make corrections and update the widgets.
