Glissando's not functioning properly as I've seen before.
I've looked up this everywhere yet I still can't seem to make a glissando go over multiple notes or measures, I can't even insert one unless I have two notes a single beat apart. I've seen photos and responses to people with glissandos that stretch over an entire measure yet I can barely even insert one. Am I doing something wrong?

Please attach a score and explain what you are trying to do.
There are two options in the Arpeggios and Glissandos palette. Let us know if one of those works for you.

1. I don't think that a glissando is notated with rests between the start note and the end note.
See Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glissando:
Playback of glissandi in MS4 is still a bit of a "work in progress". So you may have to write out the glissando in full (i.e. in semiquavers), as suggested in the Wikipedia article.
Are you aware that in the Properties panel there are several Style options in the Playback tab? "Portamento" is probably your best option:

Maybe he is suggesting that you have notes a few measures apart which you want to connect, possibly with some smaller notes in between for reference. For that, use playing but hidden glissandos between the individual notes and one long autoplace-disabled glissando that does not play between the first and last.
For non-adjacent notes, simply select both (click one, Ctrl+click the other) then click the palette symbol.
