Is there any method in SDL Trados Studio 2021 to mark a segment during reviewing for later analysis?
I'm reviewing a very large MTPE project now and need to get through a lot of files in different batches. First, I want to fix the most obvious errors and later go back for a closer look at some segments. For this purpose, I want to add like a colour marking of a segment so I easily recognize it when browsing through the segments a second time.

Is it the bookmark function I should use? Or is there any other function which adds a colour marking so that the marking is visible in the Editor view? ▲ Collapse

segment status or text
May 7, 2021
You could temporarily change the status to a status that is not used in the document such as Translation Approved etc.
Alternatively you could add some placemarker text such as @@@@@@
The bookmark function is also an option but you cant filter by it as far as I know.

Segment status is most straightforward
May 8, 2021
I found out now that I first change segment status for all segments to Not translated. Then I review row by row, and change segment status to Translated as I edit each segment. I have a shortcut for changing status to Translated, so it's really straightforward.
When done (of after I have edited thousands segments or so), can I close the multiple files in the editor window and do the batch task Update main translation memory to get my segments I've set as Translated into the transla... See more

When done (of after I have edited thousands segments or so), can I close the multiple files in the editor window and do the batch task Update main translation memory to get my segments I've set as Translated into the translation memory? It worked fine when I had the multiple files opened for translation, but will it work when I had the multiple files opened for reviewing also? ▲ Collapse

You could add a fake (or real) comment to the segment. Comments come in three different colours, depending on their category. When you are done you can look at all segments which have a comment and delete your comment. Of course, creating a comment is somewhat time consuming, but I work a lot with the common feature and find it quite useful.
