   Review preview before importing

   The preview summarizes rows to update, unchanged, conflicts, and warnings, displaying "In editor" and "In file" side by side. When conflicts exist, checking Overwrite 3 conflicts with the translations in the file applies file contents over editor edits; modified source text is never written back.

   Confirm import

   Click Import 6 segments. Importing updates translations without automatically delivering—review translations before clicking Deliver.
