The bilingual document includes a filter bar where you can filter either the source or the target columns by content-typing the text into the field. You can also filter by other criteria by clicking on the left-hand side arrow (see image below). You can then filter by segment status, pretranslated pre-translated form, who created/modified/commented on the segment, changes in workflow steps, and you can sort them by first letter, length and repetitions. More information about filtering and sorting.
The bar at the top of the editing window can be used to search and replace terms. Type the term that you want to search for and click on the arrows to display the 'replaceReplace with' field. Type the new term in this field and click on on Replace or Replace all to replace all occurrences in the text.

Under the filters, the actual document displays in segments (rows) , and includes seven columns corresponding from left to right to:
- source text
- target text (here is where the translation is entered)
- Segment status:
meaning
meaning not confirmed (the translation has not been imported to the Translation Memory), 
meaning confirmed, and 
meaning confirmed on the translation step but not on the editing step. - Translation Memory match / Machine translation / Term base: the colour of the cell is related to the matching and the number indicates the proportion (eg.
means there is 101% match with the translation memory, 
means 99% match). This column also shows when the text has been machine-translated 
. Recommended terms from the term base (glossary) are marked with 
. - Next The next column shows whether the segment is repeated throughout the job
. - Next The next column shows if the segment has been locked
. - Last The last column shows if there are comments on the segment. The symbol displays is displayed in grey when there is are no comments (

. To add/read a comment you just have to click on the symbol. A resolved comment is marked with a green tick (
