As far as I understand, MemoQ project manager edition is supposed to have version control for documents. I would be grateful if someone could help me figure out exactly how it works.

My document was translated which corresponded to version 2.1. Now it has passed into the review stage, and the current version is 2.3.

MemoQ Help is very skimp on the matter (as always).

Any help is much appreciated! ▲ Collapse

If you click on V2.2 you can then export active document?

Hope this helps ▲ Collapse

A solution May 28, 2013

Hi rmackay,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried doing that but got an error.

MemoQ Support suggested the following solution:

1. Restore the older minor version.
2. Export the translation.
3. Restore the version that was current before step 1.

I also inserted step 0, Create snapshot of the current version, so as not to get confused later at step 3. So the procedure looks as follows:
