Discussions
Discussions allow you to do query management. Things can go wrong in a translation, or the source text is misleading, and you would like to ask back, add a comment of a not properly used term, or comment on an error, indicated by LQA.
If you have the permission, you can use topics in memoQweb to comment on or discuss documents, segments, Qterm entries or single terms. You can follow or unfollow topics, pin them on top of your topic list on the Discussions home tab, or mark them with a star.
