Description

\pretoglossarypreamble[type]{text} (see manual page 961) is undefined in glossary-extra.sty, but \preglossarypreamble[type]{text} is.
Looks like a typo in code / documentation.
Please make sure to keep \preglossarypreamble[type]{text} for compatibility with LaTeX projects written for makeglossaries-extra 1.50 or lower.

Evaluation

Fixed in v1.52. This now correctly defines \pretoglossarypreamble. The old (incorrect) command name is still defined to allow for backward-compatibility but isn’t mentioned in the documentation.
