I am trying to learn to use your software but I don’t seem to find all the information describing the different functions of the tool.

For example, in the QA results there is a percentage sign column and there is a number between brackets.

I assume the number is the segment number, but i don’t know what the percentage stands for.

Is there any material to know more about this and other functions?

For information on a particular field like this one, the best way is probably to press **F1** for **Contextual Help** on the window in question. F1 is available for all windows. For example, this help topic for this display is a bit lengthy but towards the end it reads:

> If **Remove duplicates** was selected in the project properties, the **#** column in the search results contains the number of entries that are identical in a given file.

Also in the **Help** menu there are links to the online help and to the [User’s Guide](http://www.xbench.net/index.php/support/documentation).

But for a quick yet comprehensive overview of Xbench features, we strongly recommend watching the [Getting Started playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVQmKnkffaq4mKYfU2ZMmyYB0VvleloB).

Also, besides the videos in the playlist, there are also many useful 5-minute videos in our [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/xbenchdotnet).

In addition to what Josep said…

I would suggest as a good introduction to Xbench my presenation “Xbench for Terminology Management and Translation QA” (available online at: [http://www.aboutranslation.com/p/xbench-training.html](http://www.aboutranslation.com/p/xbench-training.html))
