What am I supposed to do with this batch? It is supposed to be an indexing batch, but information has all ready been entered, although some of it is obviously incorrect. There are no boxes to verify the information as there should be for a review batch. Am I just supposed to go through and make corrections and then submit it to be reviewed?

    @StewartEarlene1 Yes. You can either make the corrections and Submit it for Review, Empty the Batch fields and return it or index it, or just return it for the next Indexer to have the same experience. I did not see whether you're in Indexing/Reviewer mode - my screen is too small.

    I hope this helps!

    @StewartEarlene1 You are definitely in indexing mode. A Reviewer received that batch for review, looked it over and decided that he or she didn’t want to deal with correcting the errors. So the Reviewer chose the option to “Reindex Batch” but keep the data. So you are seeing what the Reviewer saw. @genthusiast 1 has laid out what your options are.

    if I were an Indexer in your shoes, I would go through it with a “review” mindset and delete or correct what Entries are bad, leave alone what’s good, and add any missing Entries. I’d be happy to take advantage of the fact that someone has done a lot of pre-typing for me. You can also wipe it clean and start from scratch.

    The Reviewer evidently thought it was salvageable, and upon glancing through it, so do I.
