Uploading files for all your accepted tasks
After you worked offline on the files corresponding to your accepted tasks, you can batch upload (bulk upload) them. You can replace files for tasks that have the same or different task types, from the same project or from different projects. File replacement is useful if the target files contain errors or if you have a new version of the target file you want to work on.
Before you begin
- The automatic replacement process will fail if you delete or change the task ID which prefixes the file name. The task ID is added to the file name when you perform a batch download. The replacement process matches the files with the task and project they belong to based on the task ID prefix in the file name.
- The automatic replacement process will fail if the files you are uploading do not have a task ID, AND if the name of the file you are replacing is different from the name of the file you are replacing it with.
For all the cases where the automatic file replacement fails, you can perform manual matching in the Match Files with Tasks step of the wizard.
Note that if you upload a *.zip file, the total supported length of file name+path is 255 characters.
About this task
This operation replaces the previous files, and it is available for the following tasks: Engineering, DTP, Final Check, Bilingual Engineering, Translation, Linguistic Review, and Implement Linguistic Review. As Linguist, you do not normally work on Engineering, DTP, or Final Check tasks, but the procedure below includes these tasks as well, as some options are more suitable for these tasks.
The current topic describes two scenarios: uploading files by selecting each task and uploading files by selecting a project. To replace or upload files for Bilingual Engineering tasks, use the second scenario, namely select a project first.
