I have created an EN > NL Excel test project to evaluate the QA for Same Target but Different Source in memoQ 2015. 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?
This is what I did:

I could not tell for memoQ 2015, but chances are that it is the same setting as in memoQ 9.10. It is the "Bidirectional" setting in the Consistency tab of your QA Settings. Try this location:
This should check inter-segment consistency in both directions, source to target and target to source. You would also need to make sure you are using this set of QA settings in your project (you can have as many QA settings as you want to give you operative freedom depending on the project).
I hope this helps!

How to proceed?

Thank you Tomás!
It looks pretty much the same in memoQ 2015:
When I run the QA, nothing happens. Should I take another action?
Aha:
You would also need to make sure you are using this set of QA settings in your project (you can have as many QA settings as you want to give you operative freedom depending on the project).
Select your now tuned QA settings for your project

You can enable your new QA settings for your project inside the project. In Project home, choose Settings, then the icon for QA Settings. In the list of possible QA settings, choose the one you have edited. This should enable the new settings for the QA you do from now on in the project. I hope this helps!

This way of having different "soft resources" you can enable or disable depending on your project is one of the things I love in memoQ. It gives us here in the office plenty of room to improve our processes.

Thank you for your help, Tomás!
I managed to get the segments with Same Target but Different Source listed.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but the differing source segments aren't marked, are they?

That's right: as far as I have seen thus far, none of the set of differing source segment is marked. I reckon that the reason is that memoQ cannot really judge which segment(s) is/are "wrong". It merely says that you have at least one that is different to the rest, but you have to find it. In my experience, you normally would not have many segments in this situation, but it depends on your project of course...
