What it teaches

Run a review with someone who has no CAT tool, and read the decisions back into the file.
See why a fix that loses a tag is refused, and apply it by hand.

What the import does

Import review workbook shows two lines:

Review applied: 6 accepted, 1 modified, 1 rejected, 0 unmatched.
1 fixes were not applied because they would drop or add inline tags — keep the tag markup shown in the Target column, or edit those segments here.

The fix it refused is the one for segment 3. It changes segments 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9: an Accept with no fix still moves a segment to Reviewed.

#	Decision	Suggested fix	Client's comment
1	Accept	—	—
2	Accept	Unser Winterbrot ist wieder da: Roggenbrot mit Walnüssen und Honig.	House style: “wieder da”, and the whole word “Roggenbrot”.
3	Accept	Ab Montag öffnet unser Laden in der Mill Street schon um 7:00 Uhr.	We open earlier now, so please add “schon”.
4	Accept	—	—
5	Accept	—	—
6	Modify	Unsere Kuchen backen wir ganz ohne Palmöl.	Warmer, please: this is a newsletter.
7	Reject	—	“Verkaufshilfe” sounds unskilled. Our job ads say “Verkäuferin oder Verkäufer”.
8	Accept	Ihre Bewerbung senden Sie bitte an 2jobs@larkspur.example/2.	Sounds friendlier.
9	Accept	—	—
10	none	—	—

1	Larkspur Bakery news for November	Neues aus der Bäckerei Larkspur im November
2	Our winter bread is back: rye with walnuts and honey.	Unser Winterbrot ist wieder da: Roggenbrot mit Walnüssen und Honig.
3	From Monday, the shop on 1Mill Street/1 opens at 7:00.	Ab Montag öffnet unser Laden in der 1Mill Street/1 schon um 7:00 Uhr. The client's fix dropped the tags around “Mill Street”, so the import refused it. The student types the change (“unser”, “schon”) into the target and keeps tags 1 and /1.
4	Every Friday we bake sourdough loaves to order.	Jeden Freitag backen wir Sauerteigbrote auf Bestellung.
5	Order by Thursday at 18:00 in the shop or by phone.	Bestellen Sie bis Donnerstag um 18:00 Uhr im Laden oder telefonisch.
6	Our cakes are made without palm oil.	Unsere Kuchen backen wir ganz ohne Palmöl. Modify puts the fix in and the segment back to Draft: the student reads it and confirms it.
7	We are looking for a weekend sales assistant.	Wir suchen eine Verkäuferin oder einen Verkäufer für das Wochenende. Rejected: the import changes nothing. The comment asks for the job title the bakery uses.
8	Send your application to 2jobs@larkspur.example/2.	Ihre Bewerbung senden Sie bitte an 2jobs@larkspur.example/2. The client kept the tags as they appear in the workbook, so the fix was applied with the real tags.
9	The shop is closed on 25 and 26 December.	Am 25. und 26. Dezember ist der Laden geschlossen.
10	Thank you for shopping with us, and see you soon!	Danke, dass Sie bei uns einkaufen, und bis bald! No decision: the import leaves it as it was.
