If you need to preserve whitespaces in the target XML file:

- the Trados Studio filter needs to be set as follow:

Open Studio and go to File > Options > File Types > [your xml file type] > Whitespace
On the right hand side check box Always preserve




- In the Cloud, make the same modification in Resources > File Type Configurations > [file type configuration used for your project template] > [XML file type needed] > Whitespace Settings > Always Preserve



 

By default, the XML file type settings will normalize whitespaces.
