Definition
纲要 (gāng yào) refers to a concise outline that captures the essential points of a document, policy, or course. It is more focused on key content than 大纲 (dà gāng), which is a broader framework, and more formal than 提纲 (tí gāng), which is a simple list of main points for a speech or article.
