New review modes for Customer Review tasks

Customer Review tasks have 2 new review modes: Read-only with comments, Revisions enforced.

Administrators, Lead Project Managers, or Project Managers can specify the review mode for the Customer Review task in Trados Enterprise. When Customer Reviewers open their task in Trados Online Editor, the review mode specified in Trados Enterprise loads automatically.

Two review modes were added:
  • Read-only with comments

    Users can add only file-level or segment-level comments. It is not possible to edit the segment content, to apply Track Changes or TQAs.

  • Revisions enforced

    Users can edit the document, but only with revisions, and cannot disable Track Changes.
