We’re happy to announce that, starting with [ApSIC Xbench 3.0 build 1350](http://www.xbench.net/index.php/download), support for Matecat has been added!

Now you can very easily run QA with Xbench on a Matecat job with these steps:

**In Matecat:**

1. 

```
  Open the editor for the Matecat job in _Translate_ or _Revise_ mode and copy the URL with the editor open.

```

**In Xbench:**

1. 

```
  Choose **Project>New**.

```

2. 

```
  Click **Add**.

```

3. 

```
  Click **Matecat Job**.

```

4. 

```
  Click **Next**.

```

5. 

```
  Paste the URL copied in Matecat and click **OK** and then **OK** again.

```

The Matecat job automagically loads in Xbench, and you can QA or search its translated segments.

**And now comes the best part**. When you find an issue that you want to edit in Matecat, select it and press **Ctrl+E** (or right-click and choose **Edit Source** ).

Chrome will open the Matecat online editor **right at the segment**. Once you are done with your edit, you can return to Xbench with **Alt+Tab** and continue your QA.

> NOTE: Chrome must be your default browser for **Edit Source** to work nicely.

Once you have edited a few segments and you are ready to run a QA regression, just press **F5** in Xbench and the Matecat job will be refreshed with the latest changes.

We find this seamless integration between Xbench and Matecat very, very cool, we hope you like it, too!

## …One More Thing

To further streamline the whole experience, **we’ve created a Chrome Extension**!

It allows you to load your Matecat job in Xbench with just two clicks while you are at the Matecat editor – or even with only one click if you choose **Always open files of this type** in Chrome for the .xbp extension.

The Xbench Chrome Extension can be downloaded [here](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apsic-xbench-extension/hocobnhnpniphphccgaliheohnobbdjo). We hope you like it!
