Can I reopen a batch to correct after it's been submitted?

I realized I made a mistake doing enlisted monthly roster lists. I'm a novice and was going off of the instruction picture provided. I had a lapse of thinking and didn't realize I was supposed to list all the names and not just the first one that was highlighted in the red box on the sample. I want to go back and fix this if possible, I feel terrible about it!

    Hi @sabrinagabriellethomas1 . Unfortunately you can’t retrieve a batch after it has been submitted. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you now know how to properly index such a batch. And the better news is that the Reviewer will catch the “error” and fix that batch, or more likely send it back for Reindexing. No harm done.

    Phew! I'm glad they'll catch it :) it was my first time indexing in years so I'm still getting the hang of it. Thanks so much!
