This is a word which has contradictory definitions as you can see in 1 and 2. In 1 it is synonymous with "summary" and in 2 with something "detailed". It's no wonder why people have mental problems, our language is all screwed up. There are other words like this.

1: affording a general view of a whole

2: manifesting or characterized by comprehensiveness or breadth of view

3: presenting or taking the same or common view; specifically often capitalized : of or relating to the first three Gospels of the New Testament

4: relating to or displaying conditions (as of the atmosphere or weather) as they exist simultaneously over a broad area

Defined by: Merriam-Webster >
