Editing Assets in a Browser

You use the Segmented Asset Editor and Freeform Editor to edit source assets and tasks directly, without a target file. Use the Browser Workbench control to access either editor.

About this task

Use the Segmented Asset Editor if an asset has a locale set up and its MIME type has a file type associated with it. You can alternatively choose to switch to the Freeform Editor, or to download the asset and edit offline. You can also access the Viewer from the Segmented Asset Editor.

Procedure

  1. Choose an asset to edit. Either:
    • From the WorldServer Explorer, navigate through the directory tree to the asset and select it.
    • From the task list of a project, select a task with an associated asset by clicking the check box next to the task.
  2. Open the Segment Asset Editor by clicking Edit > In Browser Workbench.
    WorldServer opens the asset in the Segmented Asset Editor, with the asset contents chunked into small segments.
