Certification - doubts and questions

Question

Good morning! 
 We are a small group of students trying to understand the subtleties of Studio as we intend to apply to the certification &ldquo;Getting Started&rdquo;. We were given exercises in class, but unfortunately are thoroughly failing to get the right answer for two questions : maybe you could help? I will explain them in 2 separate messages. 
 
 The first one is about &ldquo;Tag verification&rdquo;. I know Studio runs an automatic tag verification by &ldquo;saving as&rdquo;. 
 But as far as I know, it&rsquo;s just a failure report with no information on the errors proper. In order to know where the tag errors are, you need to run a verification in the whole document (F8 or Settings/Verification). 
 
 The test we were given offers only 4 possible answers, with none of them seeming to match => 
 
 &ldquo;menu command Edit => Verify&rdquo; (and not &ldquo;Settings&rdquo;) 
 &ldquo;automatically when you save a document&rdquo; (and not &ldquo;save as&rdquo;) 
 &ldquo;through Review => Verify&rdquo; 
 &ldquo;Automatically when you save a document&rdquo;

I think both the first and the second may apply, though not perfectly. I would very much appreciate any input on this! 
 Thank you&hellip; !

As far as I know only the 3 variant is correct “through Review => Verify”. Is true that when you save or want to close the document, if you delete a tag by mistake you have an error message, but is not the tag verification.

Hi Le Boulaire Ingrid , 
 
Based on these choices: 
 
“menu command Edit => Verify” (and not “Settings”) 
“automatically when you save a document” (and not “save as”) 
“through Review => Verify” 
“Automatically when you save a document” 
 
I would have said the third option only. The only other place is when you confirm a segment but this one is not mentioned... at least as far as I know!

Unknown said: I wonder if it was perhaps originally created for Studio 2009 and never looked at since then... For example, there is no menu since Studio 2014, so any reference to "menu command" is just plain wrong (and I seriously doubt it is intentional mistake made to 'confuse'). 
 You're probably half right Evzen. The material has been updated and in fact it is regularly updated with no small effort! But perhaps the students are using an old course? Or perhaps it is a deliberate attempt to confuse by referring to a menu when there is a ribbon now.

Hi Le Boulaire Ingrid , 
 
My own experience of this was that the Getting Started was the hardest... it gets easier after that!

To add to Paul's answer, it is Review-Verify because the Verify button can be found under the Review tab in the ribbon. In actual practice I use F8 and not the button in the ribbon, but that's where you can find it. You didn't tell us specifically what the question asks, just the answers, but in any case, tag verification is part of the overall verification, so don't worry about that. 
 
And a tip: to see the English names of the settings, you can change Studio's interface language quite easily by going to the View tab. You will need to restart Studio after selecting the language you want, but that's all it takes. My suggestion would be to change the interface to English and take screenshots of the various areas that you've been looking at, then switching back to French to compare. I think that would give you additional confidence that you're choosing the right answers in the English test. : )
