No "Import" option after clicking "Termbase Management"

Question

I have followed the steps for converting an Excel Glossary using MultiTerm Convert. (I kept receiving error messages using Glossary Converter and the suggested Glossary Converter Beta version also did not function correctly). 
 When I come to the importing stage, I click on Termbase Management but nothing happens. No Import option appears. 
 I presume I need this to happen in order to eventually make an Autosuggest dictionary? 
 
 Thank you.

Hi Clare Rubin 
 It looks as though you may have inadvertently closed the Catalog Categories that contain the features you are looking for. Try resetting your window layout:

 Just to clarify... glossaries are not used to create an autosuggest dictionary. This is a feature based on your Translation Memories. Autosuggest can come from many sources... maybe review this "old but still usefu" article: 
 https://multifarious.filkin.com/2015/01/01/autosuggest/ 
 Today out of the box autosuggest comes from these sources: 
 
 So you have "Translation Memory and Automated Translation" which means hits from your translation memory and also concordance searches can feed the autosuggest; and also fragment matches which is a sort of dynamic "autosuggest dictionary". So I would not worry too much if you didn't create any dictionaries while the trial was still active. Dictionaries are static and need to rebuily every now and again to make sure they contain all your latest work. Fragment matching uses your live TM so you have this kind of feature out of the box anyway.

 Only if you don't tell Studio where you moved them to. It's no problem to move them wherever you like, but make sure you also remove them in Stdio and then add them back in again from their new location. You'll probably be prompted when Studio can't find them.
