Import
--- SCREENSHOT
To successfully import your project, you need to recover your previously exported file (filled with all the work you have performed offline).
Once you click on import, a popup window will appear allowing you to browse or drag and drop your desired file. Remember to select a valid file in order to avoid problems.
Once the system has processed the files, a report with the changes will be generated. You may want to keep that information for latter use. If not, you can just go on and accept the changes.
The editor will be loaded with your offline work.
Set document as deliverable

Choose this option when you will be ready to deliver your work and complete your job.

A popup window will allow you to submit the work available in the CAT Editor to your Project Manager. Alternatively, if your task required external work and your Project Manager has set you specific rights, you will be able to upload a file and send it to complete your assignment. Either way, once you have submitted your file, you will need to go back to your job dashboard and set the job as complete.
