You can update tasks in projects in WorldServer even if you are not running in Live Translation Memory mode. However, to preserve all outstanding translation work in the project, you will have to manually update translation memory for each task pending restart before completing the current task step. The translation memory must be updated with the task’s translation work before completing the task step. The safest way to do this is to create a “protected region” in your workflow between the Translate step and the Save step, using the Apply pending update after completing step check box in the Advanced Options dialog of any human or automatic action. That way you can ensure that work is not lost.
