Can Overwrite Perfect Match with Review Files?

Question

Hi, 
 I am having trouble applying edits from a bilingual review document to segments that have a PerfectMatch. 
 The only work around I can find is to manually select the segments and unlock them before updating from the review document. 
 The problem with this is that I cannot unlock all segments in a document with one click if there is a mix of PM and translated segments. 
 
 Any help with this would be much appreciated. 
 
 P.s. As reference, my workflow is as follows: 
 1. Translate document 
 2. Receive source updates 
 3. Apply PerfectMatch and translate source updates 
 4. Export for bilingual review 
 5. Update from bilingual review

Hi @Rento 
 If I understand you correctly then I think the easiest way for you to unlock the required segments would be to use the ACTIVE DISPLAY FILTER and then select SEGMENT TYPES/Context Match-Perfect match- thus displaying only the locked Perfect match segments

Now once you have all the specified locked segments (below i have used an example for AT- but this works just as well for any other available search criteria. 
 
 Now click in the first segment- 
 then whilst clicking and holding the TAB key - click with the mouse in the last (numbered column) segment- 
 Right Click and now you can unlock all the segments and proceed with your translations.

Please let me know if this has helped you achieve what you wanted.

 Do you need to lock the PerfectMatched segments in your step 3? Can't you simply use the option to retain the original segment status when applying PerfectMatch?

Thanks Steven, 
 
This is what I was looking for and worked perfectly for what I was doing. 
 
I found that selecting the ACTIVE DISPLAY FILTER to search for locked segments reduced the search criteria even further so I didn't have CM segments in there as well. 
 
Thanks for the help and sorry for the late reply.

Thank you Evzen, 
 
On second look in the wizard I see there is the option "Use the original translation origin and status" when applying PerfectMatch. As you suggest, I will use that from now on to avoid the problem I have above. 
 
Thanks for the help and sorry for the late reply.
