🔄 Upload a new Revision

Redokun's revision feature streamlines the process of updating documents during translation. Whether it's correcting errors, incorporating product updates, or making design changes, you can easily upload a new version of your document without losing existing translations.

🧭 When Should You Upload a New Revision?

Use this feature when you need to update a document that has already been shared with translators. Typical scenarios include:

• Making corrections or improvements to the original source content
• Adding or removing text due to product or content updates
• Applying layout changes in tools like Word or InDesign

Redokun ensures that your existing translations are preserved wherever possible, saving your team time and reducing duplicate work.

✅ Why Use the Revision Feature?

Uploading a new revision through Redokun offers several advantages:

• Saves time: You only translate what’s changed. Existing translations are preserved and reused.
• Minimizes errors: Translators can focus exclusively on new or updated segments, reducing the chance of overlooking edits.
• Maintains consistency: Reusing past translations ensures consistent terminology and phrasing across document versions.
• Simplifies collaboration: Your team is automatically notified (unless you disable notifications), keeping everyone aligned on the latest version.

📄 What Happens When You Upload a New Revision?

Upon uploading a new revision, Redokun automatically updates the document across all assigned target languages:

• Preserves Existing Translations: Unchanged segments retain their confirmed translations, ensuring no progress is lost.
• Highlights New Content: New or modified segments are marked as "to be translated," allowing translators to focus only on what's new.
• Contextual Analysis: If the context around a segment changes, Redokun flags it for retranslation but offers previous translations as suggestions.

This approach minimizes redundant work, enabling your team to efficiently handle document updates.
