Keep XLIFF imports in sync with edits

If the source video changes after you export an XLIFF, we now reconcile safe updates automatically—and flag major changes so you can re-export.

We’ve made XLIFF imports smarter, so your translated video stays aligned even if the source video changed after you exported the XLIFF.

This update helps when translations take days (or weeks) and the source video gets small tweaks in the meantime.

How it works and why it matters

When you import a translated XLIFF, we now check whether the source video has changed since that XLIFF was exported:

  • If changes are cosmetic (like an updated Avatar look or backdrop), we’ll automatically import against the latest version so you don’t need to re-export
  • If changes are structural (like a scene or on-screen element being added or removed), we’ll stop the import and show a clear message so you can re-export from the updated video

For more on how it works, check out our documentation.
