The Alignment Toolbar ​

Alignment work is all about quick, precise fixes: split, merge, swap rows, realign, and protect validated ranges. The Alignment toolbar is a floating command palette that keeps those actions close while you clean up alignments.

This page documents every command available in the Alignment toolbar.

Status ​

Lock point ​

Lock point (light)Lock point (dark)

Locks all units before this lock point and after the next lock point, so the span between lock points stays protected during realignment.

Bookmark ​

Bookmark (light)Bookmark (dark)

Toggles a bookmark on the selected units so you can return to them quickly later.

Undo ​

Undo ​

Undo (light)Undo (dark)

Reverts the most recent alignment change.

Redo ​

Redo (light)Redo (dark)

Reapplies the last undone alignment change.

Move ​

Push up ​

Push up (light)Push up (dark)

If your cursor is in the source segment, it pushes up the selected source segment and all rows below it. If your cursor is in the target segment, it affects the target rows instead.

Push down ​

Push down (light)Push down (dark)

If your cursor is in the source segment, it pushes down the selected source segment and all rows above it. If your cursor is in the target segment, it affects the target rows instead.

Swap ​

Swap (light)Swap (dark)

Swaps the selected rows with the next row. If you select two translation units, it swaps those two units directly.

Split ​

Split up ​

Splits the current segment upward, merging the split part into the row above in the active column (source or target).

Split up (new row) ​

Split up new row (light)Split up new row (dark)

Splits the current segment upward and inserts the split part as a new row.

Split down ​

Realign from here ​

Realign from here (light)Realign from here (dark)
