Holding file for feedback

The Hold for Feedback task was introduced in November 2023. A file can be held for feedback, prior to its delivery to the customer. After receiving feedback, the file can either be sent back to various stages in the workflow if changes are necessary, or sent to the last workflow step.

Before you begin

For the Hold for Feedback task, you need to specify the number of days after which the task is closed automatically with the status Elapsed. While configuring a workflow, select Configure and Assign Task, and then select Linguistic Review configuration button. In the Configure_[target_name] right-hand-side pane, under Close after (days) specify the number of days after which the task is closed automatically. The Close after (days) field has the default value of 90 days, and can have a minimum value of 1 day, and a maximum value of 365 days. The Hold for Feedback can be completed manually, but if it is not, automatic completion happens after the days specified in the Close after (days) field elapse.

About this task

The Hold for Feedback task cannot be worked on in Trados Studio.

The Elapsed status is visible in project reports as well as in the project Files tab.
