Step 4 - Send files for review for a Regulated industry
After you have finished translation of a document, you can send it for review before generating the final translated document. These workflows allow you to send it to several different levels of review and to reviewers who could be reviewing it in SDL Trados Studio or outside of Studio. You can then get, for example, a subject matter expert review to check the meaning in the translated text and a proofreader review to check for the spelling and punctuation.
Standard workflows
You can use the following workflows to send files for review to other users of Studio:
| Project Package Translation: Offline Workflow | If you are working offline without SDL Studio GroupShare, you can send files for review in a project package to other Studio users. |
| GroupShare Project: Online Workflow | If you are working in an online workflow, once the translation is complete and checked in, the reviewer can check out the file for review. This requires that you have an GroupShare server to which to connect. |
Regulated industry workflows
You can also send files for review to reviewers who do not have Studio.
| Bilingual Review in Word | If you are in a workflow where the reviewer does not have Studio, you can export to a bilingual review document in MS Word format. You can then review the document in Word and update Studio with the corrections.
For additional external review document formats, see the available applications on SDL OpenExchange.

| Review an Exported Target File | If you need to send the native target file to a reviewer and then import the changes they made back into your project, you can use the Studio Retrofit feature. When importing the reviewed target file, you can also check and, if necessary, correct the reverse alignment. |
| Review by a Regulator in a Bundle | If you work in a regulated industry and have purchased a license containing this feature, you can send a bundle of files to an external regulator for review. This bundle contains a specific collection of files needed by the regulator. The regulator is then able to review the documents in Word and you can update Studio with the corrections. |
