A Deliverable is the finished, client-ready version of a Work Unit's file — the copy you want the client to actually receive, after any formatting or layout work you did outside wxrks. This article covers uploading one as a Vendor, what happens if you upload a second one, and how the deliverable icon on a Work Unit tells you whether one's already there.
💡 Who is this for? This guide is for Vendor delivering a final file that needed edits outside wxrks — a re-laid-out document, a cleaned-up export, or any other client-ready version of the translated content.
What counts as a deliverable
A deliverable can be a final formatting pass, a file you edited in another tool, or any other client-ready version of the translated content. It's always attached at the Work Unit level — one deliverable per Work Unit.
Permissions
Uploading and downloading deliverables are each gated by their own permission — Upload Deliverable File and Download Deliverable File — so one doesn't automatically come with the other. You can only upload to a Work Unit you're actually assigned to. If you don't see the option described below, ask your Account Administrator to check these permissions for your role.
How to upload a deliverable
From My Projects, expand the project and find your task. Click the ⋮ (three-dot) menu at the end of its row, then Upload Deliverable, and choose the file from your computer.
Replacing an existing deliverable
If a deliverable is already on the Work Unit and you upload another one, wxrks asks you to confirm before it overwrites the old file — this is what stops an accidental replacement.
Checking whether a deliverable is already there
A small box icon appears on a Work Unit's row once it has a deliverable attached, with a tooltip confirming it on hover — a quick way to check before you upload, without opening the file itself.
Downloading files from a Work Unit
The same row menu's Download File option opens a dialog where you pick which file you want — Original, Translated, Deliverable, or Reference Files — with each option only available if you hold its matching permission, and disabled if that file doesn't exist yet on the Work Unit.
By default, most Vendors don't have permission to download the original or translated files — only whichever of these your Account Administrator has explicitly turned on for your role.
A few things worth knowing
Uploading a new deliverable always replaces the previous one — there's no version history to fall back on, so double-check the file before confirming.
The client only sees the deliverable once the project itself is delivered — uploading one doesn't notify them immediately.
