Checking the changes
All changes are saved in the change report. You can consult it to check the changes you have made to the MT. For projects which contain a proofreading and/or validation job, you can consult the changes implemented by the proofreader/validator via the change report.
You can access the change report via “View”>”Change report”.
The report only includes segments from the job with changes and the Smart Editor segment numbers are shown on the very far left.
Navigation in the change report
In the change report, you can select the workflow step you would like to visualise via the drop-down menu located above the list of modified segments.
To see the changes made to a particular segment, expand the entry by clicking the downward-facing arrow on the right-hand side.
Alternatively, you can expand all the segments at once by clicking “Expand all” and go back to the collapsed view by clicking “Collapse all”.
The expanded change entry displays the user who saved the segment, the step in the workflow during which the change was made and the timestamp.
In the expanded view, if you click the green eye button to switch “Show differences”, the changes are highlighted with green and red markings for additions and deletions, respectively.
If you click the green eye button to switch “Hide differences”, the entry simply shows the version that was saved.
There are some options that allow you to configure the appearance of the Change report to suit your preferences.
If you want the Change report to always show differences when you expand a segment, go to CONFIGURATION -> On Expand -> Show Differences to switch it on. You will need to refresh the page to apply the configuration.
You also have the option to select if only “the date” or “the date and time” should be displayed in the change report.
The configuration options you choose are saved by the browser and your preferred setting will be applied the next time you use the Change report.
