Working with Track Changes
Use the Track Changes feature to track all changes made to a document. This is useful for a group of translators working on the same document to make revisions or for a reviewer to give feedback on a translation.
Text that is modified when Track Changes is on will appear as deleted or inserted in your document in SDL Trados Studio.
Track Changes location
Tracked changes can appear in two locations in your file:
- Source segments
- Target segments
Track Changes in the source text
The tracked changes in the original source file are displayed in the source segments. However, these changes cannot be amended and new changes cannot be made in SDL Trados Studio.
Track Changes in the target text
You can track the changes you make in translations in target segments. Translators can then choose to accept or reject tracked changes suggested by reviewers in target segments. You can do this for one suggested change at a time or for an entire file.
Preview file with Track Changes
When previewing files that contain tracked changes, you can only see the tracked changes in the preview for Microsoft Word 2007-2013 documents (*.docx). For all other file types, tracked changes will appear as if they are accepted in the preview.
