&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The RWS AppStore &amp;gt; Wiki is no longer being maintained. For the latest updates and changes being published, please visit the official&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12"&gt;RWS AppStore&lt;/a&gt;, where you will find supporting information such as documentation &amp;amp; change log details that is associated to each app.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alternatively if you are using Trados Studio 2022 SR2, you will find the same information within the Integrated AppStore.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is exported to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are no longer aligned with those of the original &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Practice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64b2g2i3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is exported to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are no longer aligned with those of the original &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Practice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is exported to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are no longer aligned with those of the original &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Practice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is exported to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are no longer aligned with those of the original &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Practice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is exported to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; into &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#339966;"&gt;document b&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; are no longer aligned with those of the original &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;document a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Best Practice&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;When the exported document is changed&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with document a.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A section of document a is exported to document b using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with document b&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist opens document b in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from document b into document a&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from document b are no longer aligned with those of the original document a, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Best Practice&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Support for identifying alignment differences to the segment pair structure within and across paragraph units.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consider the following workflow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Project Manager creates a new Trados Studio project with document a.&lt;br /&gt;A section of document a is exported to document b using studioViews and distributed to a linguist for translation.&lt;br /&gt;The linguist creates a new Trados Studio project with document b&lt;br /&gt;The linguist opens document b in the editor and performs structural changes to the segments (e.g. split and/or merge), before providing translations.&lt;br /&gt;The linguist delivers document b back to the Project Manager&lt;br /&gt;The Project Manager Imports the translations from document b into document a&lt;br /&gt;Given this workflow, the segmentation of the paragraph units from document b are no longer aligned with those of the original document a, as the linguist performed additional segmentation and/or merged existing segments. The latest release provides full support in recognizing segment pair structural differences and automatically aligns the segments to be imported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best Practice&lt;br /&gt;Avoid updating the segment structure of the original document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&lt;br /&gt;It is expected that structural changes to the segmentation may exist in the exported document, but not in both. If structural changes to the segmentation exist in both, then those from the document being imported take precedence.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid changing the source content of the original and/or exported document, before importing translations back from an exported document.&lt;br /&gt;We use the source content to aid in aligning the segmentation and/or merging differences. Any changes to the source content other than removing or adding spaces will affect the alignment procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm0"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm2"&gt;Example 1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h649jdlm1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example 1.1 below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h649jdlm2"&gt;Example 1.1&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm0"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm1"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h649jdlm2"&gt;Example 1.1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h649jdlm0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h649jdlm1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example 1.1 below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h649jdlm2"&gt;Example 1.1&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Important Notes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Content formatting, placeholders and spaces are not included in the exported document&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Structural elements such as content formatting, placeholders and spaces that are external to segment pairs are not included in the document that is exported by studioViews. This ensures that those elements are preserved when the translations are being re-imported.&amp;nbsp; The only exception to this rule are formatting tags located at the paragraph unit level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Considering the example 1.1 below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;space&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;between segment 2 and segment 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;color=FF000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The following formatting will be included in the exported content
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bold=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segment 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The formatting&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;italic=true&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;associated with segments 7 &amp;amp; 8&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Example 1.1&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/831x314/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6330.StudioViewsExample1.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/12" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="table-of-contents"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;Files View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;Export&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;Import&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;TellMe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h1 id="mcetoc_1h6495uoa0"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h64969qj1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6496ssg2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64975943"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497ec34"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6497tog5"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h64987bp6"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="mcetoc_1h648sto50"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h648tpql1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h648vb192"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="mcetoc_1h6490kvr3"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-36/pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8420.studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3678.pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7571.pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2474.pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6366.pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0535.pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0488.pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/4382.pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/8540.pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/3443.pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7870.pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2772.pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/7853.pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/2112.pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/6014.pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/1817.pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-03-37/0447.pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;which are addressed below.&amp;nbsp; Please also note the sub-wiki related to the workflow where users may have changed the structure of the files after export and before import:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/product-groups/translationproductivity/w/customer-experience/5898/segment-split-merge-support"&gt;Segment Split/Merge Support&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is now supported with the current release, but it&amp;#39;s still important to understand the mechanisms that are taking place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/100x100/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/studioViews_5F00_appstore.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Problem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sometimes there is a need to be able to extract some segments from a file, or multiple files, and send them as a single file to others. Sometimes there is a need to open all the files in a virtual view and then save them as a single file to share with others. Sometimes you don&amp;#39;t want to open the files at all, but you might want to split them or merge them to send to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Resolution&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;The solution to all of these requirements is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This application will not only allow you to export from the files view, filtered selections in the Editor view, or plain and simple segment selection, but it also allows you to import the translated file you exported back into your project and will update your files accordingly. The exported file is an SDLXLIFF and fully supports all the features of SDLXLIFF (segment statuses, match values, tracked changes etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;"&gt;Please make sure you also read the restrictions at the end of this wiki.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;After installing the plugin you gain access to it in two different places.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You can select one or more files and right-click (the image below is shortened for convenience) where you will find two menu items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;mport into the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221139053v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Split the selected files&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In practice you would most likely use the &amp;quot;Split into selected files&amp;quot; first and this brings up the following menu:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611221319552v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;If you have used the &amp;quot;Spit and Merge&amp;quot; application from the SDL AppStore these options will be familiar for you.&amp;nbsp; The &amp;quot;Split&amp;quot; operation allows you to do two important things:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;split the selected files by &lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by &lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt; or by &lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;split the selected files by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;wordcount&lt;/em&gt;, by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;equal parts&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;or by&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;segment ids&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by word count&amp;quot;: you specify the maximum number of words you want in each file and the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by equal parts&amp;quot;: you specify how many files you&amp;#39;d like the selected file(s) to be split into and&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;the application will split the files to the nearest segment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&amp;quot;Split by ids&amp;quot;: you specify the segment ID numbers separated by a comma, for example with an 800 segment file you could use this list of ids:&lt;br /&gt;100,250,300,500&lt;br /&gt;The application will split the file(s) into five files.&lt;br /&gt;1-100&lt;br /&gt;101-250&lt;br /&gt;251-300&lt;br /&gt;301-500&lt;br /&gt;501-800&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;merge the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;There is no obvious option for merging so this requires additional explanation.&amp;nbsp; If you have multiple files in your project you could merge them all into one SDLXLIFF by entering &amp;quot;1&amp;quot; into the &amp;quot;number of equal parts&amp;quot; field:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611224704733v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This effectively allows you to merge files after the project has been created, so it&amp;#39;s not only something you have to consider when the project is initially created.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The naming convention for the output is managed with a simple mask feature, the default being:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[####].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You define the mask and the location for the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files in the Output panel here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611225075758v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The [####] will create a number with four digits when the files are &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; So if I split the files I selected into three files I would have three files like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0001].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0002].sdlxliff&lt;br /&gt;StudioViewsFile.Split_[0003].sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I could rename them as I see fit so if I wanted the name to be different and the number to only have three digits and have it at the start I could create a mask like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[###]_ProjectName_split.sdlxliff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Import into the selected files&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This feature allows you to import the updated SDLXLIFF files you previously &amp;quot;split&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; The older &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-split-merge/20/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Split and Merge&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;application physically split the files and then merged them back together again. &lt;a href="https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/studioviews/1162/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;studioViews&lt;/a&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t take this approach and is more robust as a result.&amp;nbsp; studioViews replaces the updated segments in the original project files with the ones that were updated from the split files.&amp;nbsp; All supported features are retained:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;match values&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;statuses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;locked segments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;tracked changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;When you select the import feature you will be presented with this window:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611228262776v6.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter whether&amp;nbsp;you have selected the exact files you &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; originally to import into or not.&amp;nbsp; You can select all the files in your project and right-click to import.&amp;nbsp; The application is smart enough to know which segments you are updating and will only update the appropriate segments in the appropriate files.&amp;nbsp; You can also choose to ignore the updates to segments based on statuses, type of matches or locked.&amp;nbsp; You do this by adding the criteria into the &amp;quot;Ignore Existing Segments&amp;quot; part.&amp;nbsp; The image above shows &amp;quot;Locked&amp;quot; which is the default setting.&amp;nbsp; This will prevent changes made to locked segments in the &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; files from being imported into locked segments in the original.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the import is successfully completed you should see a &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; window similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232349588v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report that is created is a simple log file that provides information on which files were imported and some statistics around what was updated, for example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611232486165v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The original project files are also saved by appending the original files with &lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt; so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editor&amp;nbsp;View&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt; provides a similar, although in many ways more functional approach to the features in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Files View&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all you need to activate the View for &lt;strong&gt;studioViews&lt;/strong&gt; by clicking on the icon in the &lt;strong&gt;View menu&lt;/strong&gt; when you have opened a file in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor View&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611233852390v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This will open a new view to Trados Studio which you can position wherever you wish.&amp;nbsp; For example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611239753153v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;This view has two tabs:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Export&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Import&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; tab allows you to export &lt;em&gt;selected&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; to an SDLXLIFF file in a location of your choosing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selected segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that you have selected in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; by holding down the &lt;strong&gt;Ctrl&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Shift&lt;/strong&gt; key (or by using the keyboard).&amp;nbsp; For example, here I have selected segments #3, #5, #7, #8, #9 and #12:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237181793v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;It doesn&amp;#39;t matter how many files you have opened in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;, you can select whatever you wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visible segments&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;These would be segments that are currently visible in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt; view.&amp;nbsp; So if you have filtered on this using the &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Display Filter&lt;/strong&gt; for example then you may have something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611237450202v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Here I filtered on 10 of the 82 segments in my two files that are open in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If I &lt;strong&gt;Export&lt;/strong&gt; the visible segments I will create an SDLXLIFF with just these 10 segments in it because these are the ones that are visible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;Whether you use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;selected segments&lt;/em&gt; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;visible segments&lt;/em&gt; once you run the Export you should see a message box similar to this summarising what you have done and where the file has been saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246214031v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;You also have a log file which again explains which files the filtered set was taken from and the name of the file that was saved:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611246322713v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Import&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The exported file can be imported at the files level as explained above, but you can also do this in the &lt;strong&gt;Editor view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249091566v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;The options are similar.&amp;nbsp; You just set the criteria for any segments in the original source that you would like to be exempt from updating, select the sdlxliff and click on &lt;strong&gt;Import&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This feature will provide the &amp;quot;Task Result&amp;quot; as before, but you will also see the updated segments change in the file you have open in the Editor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249498519v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;In this case I signed-off and locked the segments in the file I imported and these are now changed in the file you can see open under the message window.&amp;nbsp; And of course you have a record through the log file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The original project file&amp;nbsp;is also saved by appending the original files with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.Backup_####.sdlxliff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;so you can always revert to the original if you&amp;#39;re unhappy with the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#ffff99;font-size:200%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;As with most of the plugins created by the SDL Community Developers you can always find your way to help by using the &lt;strong&gt;TellMe&lt;/strong&gt; feature in Trados Studio.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a quick way to get some help if you need it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:inherit;"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-17/pastedimage1611249797344v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
