The event was great! Although I couldn't attend every single session for work reasons, I'm thrilled that we get to have access to the content for another 90 days. I loved how varied the topics were. Well done, ProZ, thank you for a great translator's day!

It's the second time in a row that this event makes my Translation Day something to look forward to! Great presentations, lots of insightful comments and conversations. The only wish for the future would be having more companies and direct clients invited to this event, as it is a huge opportunity for all of us to network.
As a presenter I would like to thank Drew for support and professionalism, and all the audience - for their attention and interesting questions. Thank you!

11:08 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Can I propagate back to the proofread 8 ones and forward to the 1 left?
11:08 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All If you don't remember the email address for your Atril web account, you can re-register with your present address
11:08 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All If those 8 are marked as Proofread, forcing the propagation won't do anything
11:08 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All you'd have to switch to "Accept" mode
11:09 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All so, I get your point
11:09 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All I am from Atril. My name is Cathy Bodimer and I am responsible for Sales Administration.

11:09 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All In Trados and MemoQ this problems does not exist.
11:09 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All in the rare cases where you want to force a propagation, it should overwrite even the ones that are confirmed at the currently active confirmation level
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All but I forgot to copy the discount code from chat room and it is now does not show, people wrote a lot of hings and code left in the area cant bee seen.
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All that said, if the "confirmed" flag is ignored by Trados and MemoQ, then what's the point of having it?
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All could you please remind me again? :(
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All yes
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All :)
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All I certainly wouldn't want a normal propagation to overwrite confirmed segments
11:10 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All yu were the peron answered me
