Review annotations (QA flags)

The CAT editor doesn't run an automated QA scan — instead, reviewers flag issues directly on segments as annotations, using standard MQM (Multidimensional Quality Metrics) severity levels. This guide explains how to view and work through them.

View annotations​

  1. In the CAT editor header, click Errors (a bug icon with a count badge if any annotations exist).
  2. The All Annotations panel opens on the right, listing annotations grouped by segment.
  3. Each annotation shows an MQM category and a severity badge:
    • Critical
    • Major
    • Minor
    • Neutral
  4. If nothing has been flagged yet, the panel shows "No annotations yet on any segment."

All Annotations panel

A segment with annotations also shows a bug icon and count directly on its row, and "Errors (N)" in the row's ⋮ menu.

Resolve a flagged segment​

  1. Click an annotation (or the segment's bug icon) to jump to that segment.
  2. Edit the target text to fix the issue.
  3. Save the segment with Ctrl+Enter.

Submit your work​

There is no submit button inside the editor. Once the flagged issues are resolved, go back to the project page or your assignment page and submit from there — see submit completed work.
