I have created an EN > NL Excel test project to evaluate the QA for Same Target but Different Source in Trados 2022. You can download the table and an XLIFF here: https://bit.ly/3KJQoW3

How exactly do I run the QA check for Same Target but Different Source?

Is this something that can be done with Trados 2022 or do I need a separate QA tool?

There is no option for that Sep 2, 2022

Even though it was suggested several years ago, it has never been implemented.

Have you tried Xbench? Sep 9, 2022

Xbench is very good at identifying target segments with inconsistent sources (and the other way round). Which is very useful for finding those segments where you've accidentally confirmed a fuzzy match without checking it properly.

It identifies a whole host of other things too, of course (missing tags, inconsistent numbers, etc.).

I think that may be what you are looking for. You can try it out for 30 days for free.

Plug-in Sep 9, 2022

I understand your desire not to have to switch programs (or to pay even more money!), but it seems like there is no option in Studio.

There is actually a Studio plugin for Xbench which makes the process a little more convenient. Also you can jump directly from Xbench to the affected segments in Studio via a shortcut (CTRL-E, I think). (This also works with memoQ)
