Export for External Review

For reviewers who do not have Studio installed, you can export the *.sdlxliff file to a bilingual docx format which can be opened in Microsoft Word. The reviewed document can then be imported back into Studio using the Update from External Review task and the *.sdlxliff updated with tracked changes, reviewed statuses and comments.

See How to Send Files for External Review for more information.

If you sent your files for external review using the Export for External Review batch task or the Create Regulator Review Bundle batch task, you can import the content of the following reviewed documents back into Studio:

This import updates the target segments in the *.sdlxliff project file with any edits, tracked changes, reviewed statuses and comments.
