Find and Replace greyed out when working on XLF files in Studio 2017

The Subject says it all.

I am reviewing a bunch of XLF files in Studio 2017 (created a project from scratch and added the files). I have opened the file in Quick Merge View, but I can't use the find and replace functions, they are simply greyed out. Any ideas?

  • Hi ,

    I suggest you reset Studio as this has helped in the past when this happened. Rename this folder (just add _old to the end or something, it's not important what you rename it to) and restart Studio:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0

    So the path would become this:

    c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0_old

    If you can't find this folder then you need to unhide your hidden files/folders:
