I am a new memoQ user. My current project consists of about 20 individual files. These files contain some identical sections. How do I open all of the files at once? I am the reviewer.

Select your 20 files with shift, then right click, then Create View, then Simply glue documents. That's it.

Your glued file will appear in the Views tab (next to the Documents tab). Both glued and individual files are synchronized, i.e. when you amend the glued view document, the same amendments are incorporated in your individual documents (no need to open them individually for that purpose).

Change not adopted in other segment Apr 10, 2020

Thank you, Stepan. That worked. I now have all the files concatenated. However, I made a change to a segment that also appears in one of the other documents. After changing it, I pressed Ctrl+Enter. When I scroll down to the other place where that text appears, the change was not adopted. I do see the change in the Results window on the right in dark red.

Do you know if there is a setting or a special key combination I need to use to get it to replace the change automatically?

Go to 'Translation' tab > Translation settings > Auto-Propagation > Allow auto-propagation + Propagate only forward + Overwrite confirmed segments + Translator or either reviewer confirmed > Ok

Also check out the 'Automatic Lookup and Insertion' and 'Predictive Typing and Autopickup' sections or just remember them for the future. If you just started using memoQ, most probably this will be your next setting to adjust.

Also most probably you may want to skip the confirmed segments. To this effect, press Ctrl+Shift+G > select (1) Not confirmed in any role + Automatically jump after confirmation + Down. Then press Remember.
