External Editing of Documents with crossWeb
crossWeb can also be used to perform External document editing tasks. These tasks require the editing of documents outside Across, such as the post-processing of translations (to change the formatting, content, etc.) or translations of document formats not supported natively.
If you have been assigned a task that has to be edited externally, after you have confirmed and opened the task, a dialog box opens that will help you to edit the task.
The dialog window offers the following functions:
Function | Description |
Download source document | To download the document to be processed. |
Save externally edited document | To download the externally edited document (possible only after the externally updated document has been uploaded to the Across Server). |
Download attachments | To download attachments or reference documents provided to you by the project manager for working on the task. |
Upload externally edited document | To transfer the externally edited document to the Across Server (the size of the documents that can be uploaded is limited to 50 MB per document). |
Check out most recent target document edited in Across | To check out the respective document from Across. The document is converted back to its original format and can then be edited outside Across. |
You can also set the progress of the task manually and if needed, use a checkbox to set the progress to finished.
