Create new QA option set
memoQ can check many things in the translation automatically. In memoQ, the automatic checks are called quality assurance checks.
A QA option set tells memoQ what to check and how. For example, you can choose to check terminology, consistency, length. Or, you can simply check the inline tags only.
To learn more about the various settings, see the topic about editing QA options.
Don't confuse QA with LQA: memoQ also knows about Linguistic Quality Assurance. This is a way of adding human feedback to documents. The human reviewers can structure and formalize their feedback, and grade the translations if necessary. You use the LQA options - LQA models - to enter these and report about them.
You cannot edit the default QA options. Either you need to make a copy of the default QA option set, or you need to create a new one.
Belongs to a project: You choose a QA option set for a project. To make your choice, open a project. In Project home, choose Settings. Click the QA options icon. (This icon has an exclamation mark and a tick mark in it.) Check the check box of the QA option set you want to use.
Default QA settings: A new QA option set profile is set to the default checks and their default settings. You need to edit it if you need different settings.

What can you do?

Give a name and a description to the QA option set
- Type a name in the Name box. The name must be unique on your computer - or on the server where you're creating it.
