2. Is there any way to lock multiple segments at once?

Why do I need this feature? A: I want to be able to send the file to external translators with a clear indication of which translated segments they are not allowed to change. In some cases, there are many segments that I would like to lock and the process I've just explained takes too long and it's exhausting. ▲ Collapse

From the current project view, you can use Analyze to "Lock segments with 100% matches from being edited."

Kind regards,
