Hello everyone

I heard somewhere (perhaps at a presentation) that MemoQ is able to import edits from an updated target file. In other words, if I create a new project with e.g. a PPTX file, translate it, and then generate the translated PPTX file, and then make edits in that translated PPTX file (i.e. by opening the translated file in PowerPoint and changing the text), then there is a way to import my edits back into the project. Is that so? Where can I find that feature?

(I'm not talking about updating from a bilingual document.)

Thanks

Found it -- it's called "Import reviewed document" and is on the right-click menu when clicking a file. It causes MemoQ to open up its own aligner module with a preview, but then the user still has to manually connect each individual segment, even if the preview shows a perfect alignment. Some segments are pre-connected by MemoQ, but in a test of mine a large number of segments were not automatically connected in the aligner, and so I had to manually select each line and perform the steps to connect it with the text sitting right next to it. Is there a way to tell MemoQ, "the alignment is fine, please connect all segments for me"?
