External Editing of Documents
The External document editing task provides for editing of documents outside Across. For example, you can post-process translations (change the formatting, content, etc.) or translate texts in formats not natively supported by Across.
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 |
Save source document | Save the document to be edited to the hard disk. |
Save externally edited document | Save the externally edited document to the hard disk (possible only after the externally updated document has been uploaded to the Across Server). |
Save attachments | To save 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. |
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.
