      1. Subtitle Editor: Where you can write subtitles or captions (Note: a show must have segments before subtitles can be created).
      2. Segment Timer: Where you can adjust segments.
      3. Team Discussion: A Disqus forum where you can update your team on your progress and what you’re working on.
      4. Team Notes: A user-generated “glossary” and reference sheet to be used when segmenting and/ or subtitling.
      5. Activities: A real-time feed showing which users are working on what and what type of contributions they are creating.
      6. More: Where you can lock and unlock subtitles/segments, access reference materials, and access the Bulk Translation tool.
      7. Video Drop-down: Move from video to video for a show (episode to episode) without having to leave the tools.
      8. Virtual Parts: Divisions throughout a video that can only be seen by the channel team. By having these parts, it allows for multiple users to work on the same video simultaneously.
      9. Chatter: A chat feature that allows you to communicate in real-time with other users who are working on the same video as you.
