Hi Jean-Francois Mur ,

Can you please provide more details on your use-case?

Source file versions can be added only to some specific tasks in Trados. Please refer to the details provided in this page https://eu.cloud.trados.com/lc/api-docs/93b284fd6ee08-add-source-file-version .

If you're referring to a new batch of source files, this can be accomplished using the specified endpoint : https://eu.cloud.trados.com/lc/api-docs/85b2b301a0e08-add-source-file .

Hi Maria Miron 

Jean-François asked me to follow up with some additional context regarding our use case.

Assuming that source documents have already been uploaded to Trados Cloud, we often need to update these documents—either to fix content errors or to add/remove sections. This update can happen at any point in the project lifecycle, sometimes during preparation before any tasks or assignments exist, or later during the active translation phase.

The main issue we’re facing is that the endpoint available for adding a source file version — https://eu.cloud.trados.com/lc/api-docs/93b284fd6ee08-add-source-file-version — requires a taskId. Unfortunately, in our scenario, we often need to perform these updates before any task has been created or assigned to the document, which makes this endpoint unusable for us.

We’d like to know if there is a way to update a source document (i.e., add a new version of it) without requiring it to be associated with a task. That would allow us to support updates during early preparation phases, and task assignments could then follow at a later stage.

Looking forward to your insights on whether this is feasible via the current API or if there might be an alternative path.

Hi Augusto Guimaraes ,

You can add a new source file to the project and cancel the initial one. Public API exposes this endpoint for cancelling a file: https://eu.cloud.trados.com/lc/api-docs/d2f1e7c407e30-cancel-project-file .  Adding a source file is linked only to the project https://eu.cloud.trados.com/lc/api-docs/85b2b301a0e08-add-source-file .

There is no option to add a source file version without a task id associated.
