TM not updated although TM file recently saved

Question

Translation memory apparently not being updated (TM doesn't recognise identical text further on in translation) but file properties show that TM file was saved last time I entered text in translation. Why?

Hi Genevieve Shaw , 
 
Could you please give us a bit more details about the issue? 
 
Let us check the obvious first, sorry if you've been through all this yourself by now. 
1. Could you please confirm that in the Project settings the same TM is set to be updated and used for lookup? 
2. Could you check if the translation gets uploaded to the memory after you've confirmed the segment (if the TM settings are correct, see 1.)? 
3. If you run a TM update batch task, is the TM updated without any warning messages? 
 
Hoping to hear back from you.

Best wishes,

Hello Genevieve Shaw , 
 This sounds like maybe your TM is not ricked to 'update' in your proj4ect settings- 
 Open your project setting please and check the following-

If it was a simple case of your TM simply not being active- you can still update the TM using the Batch Task option and 
 
 Then maybe close the project and re-open- Are you now receiving hits from your TM?

Hello Genevieve Shaw , 
 
Thank you for these details. 
 
Could you please search for the newly uploaded segments in the TM view? Either by entering the source or the target sentence. 
(Ideally the latest segments should be displayed at the end of the TM, but it might happen that they were not uploaded in the exact same order as in the file, hence they are not visible at first glance.) 
 
Also if you are in the Editor view, after confirming a newly translated segment, is Studio offering you the now uploaded segment as a CM match?

Best wishes,
