Job Attachments: A helpful resource for your translation tasks

Job Attachments allow content owners to upload any reference files to a Job for additional context for Translators or Agencies. The Job attachment is accessible to all users who have access to the Job in the Jobs dashboard and in the CAT Tool. 

Job attachment files are non-translatable and do not go through the translation workflow or count in word count estimates.

You can now view any attachments that are an image file type, simply by clicking the file name to open the image in the panel.
