I have only just started indexing and hope I have done it correctly. I have now been given a batch that is already indexed and I am nor sure what I am supposed to do with it. I think there are some errors, or maybe I have been doing it incorrectly.

    Most likely you have gotten a batch that was sent back for reindexing because there were more errors than the reviewer wanted to correct. You should fix the errors and submit the batch. If you would like to have a second pair of eyes on this, share the batch code and we will be able to see what you are seeing and offer advice. The batch code is the series of letters and numbers in brackets that follows the project title. Example [MS7X-VFW]

    Woah I didn't know it was possible to share batches like that. I'll definitely use that feature.

    @Hardy, Evan Cade and if you want to look at a shared batch, click the gear next to My Batches and put the code in the box that pops up, or when you have a batch open, click Help, click Open Shared Batch and put this code in.

    Here is one of mine so you can practice! M3C5-H44 The person who opens the shared batch can play around with it to a degree, but, nothing you would do is saved. Only the person who "owns" the batch can work on it AND save the changes.

    And here is the link to the same batch which makes it even easier:
