My question is, once I generate the target translation, will such figures in unconfirmed segments appear as edited by me (in the right column of Editor) or as they were in the source (in the left column of Editor)?

Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!

... unless you confirm the empty segment, in which case the segment will be empty in the target document as well.

... to wonder about it, Rebeca. You can export the job to PowerPoint whenever you want and take a look at the file produced. I don't have Studio 2014, only 2011, but I imagine it's the same principle.
