Is there a place for general indexing questions?

Such as:

How do I end a session?

How do I pick the session back up?

Tips and Tricks for Newbies.

I'm not a new indexer. I was heavily involved in the 2012 indexing of the 1940 census. I haven't indexed until recently because I would like to index the 1950 index.

Things have changed since then.

    A few weeks ago I felt exactly the same. Did you do the tutorial when you first logged on? It is very helpful.

    Be sure to read all of the project instructions and field helps. (the purple ?) both of these can be opened or closed as long as you are working on the batch.

    The heavy black arrow at the top left takes you out of a batch and back to your home page. Your work is automatically saved and will be waiting for you when you come back to your home page.

    I suggest you watch this tutorial by Kathryn Grant of the BYU Family History Library. It will answer your questions and much more.
