Hello,

A client sent me a Transit project. I joined a couple of source segments, which the client says has made the return package unusable.

Does anyone know how I can find them and then how I can undo them?

Thanks in advance,

Louise

In Editor, open the Advanced Display Filter, content tab. Type ^$ for the source field and check the Regular Expression box. Switch to the File Attribute tab, add the Locked attribute from the Segment Locking list into the right-hand pane, apply the filter. This would show up empty locked segments. Unless you have locked other empty segments for a reason, the filtering hits will represent the merged segments. Then unlock each empty segment, edit the source segment to its initial state and move your translations accordingly.
