Preview option of translatable file for project manager

When uploading files to Trados Enterprise, I as a project manager would appreciate the option to briefly check if I prepared my file correctly and what it will look like for the translator, i.e.

  • were irrelevant Excel rows/columns hidden
  • will the embedded content settings convert all code into tags correctly
  • did I move all work instructions in Indesign to a separate layer
  • will the segmentation look good or did my PPT file contain many manual line breaks
  • ....

Enhancement idea:

A "preview" option when creating a new project which will show the project manager how a file will be displayed and segmented so that s/he can see if the project can be started like this or if either file or file format filter will have to be modified first. This could look like this:

  • The idea of a preview for project managers is, to me, indeed really useful. However I would suggest to have this preview not at "Project creation" but during the "Preprocessing" stage, after "Engineering" task.  Then you could have a "Preview" task and have the option to either re-do "Engineering" or go continue with next task.
