Show segment IDs

You can add a unique tag for each segment in XTM Workbench. Once configured by XTM Support, IDs are displayed in a row under the segment content. This feature can be used for the process of ID segment matching. It can also help the translator identify the segment location in the project.

XTM supports segment IDs for XML, JSON, xlsx, yml, YAML, xls, strings and properties files.
