This works only when you are reviewing errors and warnings on the Resolve errors and warnings tab.

Apply Auto Correction: Accept the correction memoQ offers for the selected warning.

Next: Opens the next warning, along the current sorting order.

Refresh Data: Updates the list. Use if there are new warnings in the meantime.

Display mode: Shows the tracked changes, or shows the final version only. Switches the view for both the source text and the target text. Opens a menu:
