Downloading the latest file version

You can download the latest version of a project file at any time. Depending on the workflow position the file fills, the download can result in the *.sdlxliff file format or the native file format. You can also choose to download only completed files (by selecting the Only completed files check box).

About this task

When you download the latest file version:
  • The download can be performed any time during the project lifecycle.
  • The download is a *.zip archive. Depending on the workflow position the file fills, the *.zip archive can consist of *.sdlxliff file formats or native file formats.
  • The *.zip download consists of an *.sdlxliff if the file is processed by any workflow step within the Copy Source to Target and Target File Generation range.
  • The *.zip download consists of the native target file if the file is processed by the Target File Generation step.
