Collaboration

Who collaboration is for

Collaboration connects project managers and translators around a shared delivery workflow. Assignments and My work organize responsibility, Issues preserves questions and review decisions, and Members controls who participates in the project.

How the collaboration areas fit together

• Assignments: managers register file versions by target language, group them into batches, and define shared or schema-specific workflow steps.
• My work: each member sees only the batches, files, workflow steps, deadlines, and progress assigned to them, and opens the exact file and language in the Editor.
• Issues: participants create reports or comments tied to source or target content, discuss them in one thread, and track resolution and confirmation.
• Members: authorized managers add eligible workspace members, choose their project role, send a direct project message, or remove direct members.

Recommended handoff flow

1. Confirm that the required people are project members and that their project roles match the work they need to perform.
2. Create a batch, add the intended file version for each target language, then assign workflow steps and deadlines.
3. Members open the assigned item from My work. Questions and review findings should be recorded as Issues with the affected rows and language attached.
4. Before the final handoff, review assignment progress and unresolved or unconfirmed Issues together; neither surface alone proves that all project work is complete.

Status and authority

The available buttons reflect what you may do in this project. Read-only access can show assignments, issues, or members without showing controls for changing assignees, roles, statuses, or deletions.

People

Members shows who can participate and whether their access is workspace-managed or added directly to this project.

Work

Assignments identifies the exact file version, target language, workflow step, assignee, deadline, and progress being handed off.

Open questions

Issues keeps the affected content, discussion, resolution status, and participant confirmation together.

1. Open Members and confirm that every assignee can participate in the project.
2. Open Assignments and verify the file version, target language, workflow step, assignee, and deadline.
3. Open Issues and clear, answer, or explicitly leave visible every unresolved thread before delivery.

After completion: The handoff is ready when the intended people can open the exact assigned work and any remaining issue is visible with a clear owner or decision.
