Working with the Segmented Asset Editor

When a task is part of a project that does not use linkage, you can edit it using the Segmented Asset Editor. If a project does not use linkage, it is generally because the project is set up so that you can track source file editing, not because it needs translation.

By using the Segmented Asset Editor, you can edit assets without a target file, if they have a locale configured and if their corresponding MIME type has a file type associated with it. You can edit the asset in the browser, switch to the Freeform Editor, or download the asset and work on it offline. You can also access the Viewer from the Segmented Asset Editor.

If an asset does not meet these requirements, but is textual, the Segmented Asset Editor is not available and the Freeform Editor is available instead. In this case, both online and offline modes are available.

If an asset does not meet these requirements and is not textual, only the Freeform Editor is available and only in offline mode.
