Sharepoint term store interface is frustrating for large termsets
We have a termset in our term store containing a few hundred entries. I'm doing some housekeeping - deprecating some terms, renaming others - but the user interface makes it very difficult. By default, the termset seems to only display the first 40 or so entries, alphabetically. I have to click 'load more' to see the next batch of entries. When I edit one of the later entries and save the change, I'm always taken back to the first 40 entries. So I have to click 'load more' then scroll down to get back to where I was. Make another change. Get taken back to the start of the list. Repeat. It's hugely frustrating. I don't know if this is expected behaviour - in which case it's poor usability - or if there's a setting I can customise to change the behaviour. Any advice?

Use PowerShell scripts to import terms in bulk with Import-Csv | Import-PnPTermSet. Of course, you can also install SharePoint Taxonomy Tool for visual management.
I don't use Powershell [I'm not a techie ;-)], and I don't know what the Sharepoint Taxonomy Tool is - is it a third-party product?
