    To see previous or following images you can do the following :

    1. In the top corner of the image window, in the vertical toolbar, click the Reference Images 

     icon which is the fourth icon from top to bottom.

    2. Below the screen on the right, click a thumbnail next to the image you are currently indexing.

    3. Index the record while viewing both images at the same time.

    4. To exit split screen mode, in the vertical toolbar, click again the Reference Images 

     icon.

    If your batch says Image 1 of 1, there is only one image in your batch. If there are more images in the batch, it will say 1 of 4 (or 2 or 10 whatever the amount is).

    Sometimes there will be multiple preset numbers of records on an image in a batch. If you only need to index 1 record, you will have to delete the unused entry forms. Then at the bottom of the last entry form you will see Next Image to click on and take you to the next image.

    If you don't want to delete the unused entries until the end, then you can click the thumbnail pictures at the bottom of the screen to move to the next image in your batch.

    To delete the unused entries at the end, click on the trash can icon, select "all blank entries", click delete. Now your batch will submit.

    @Astorga Jaime R Not to beleaguer the point, but, Mirevo's answer is not how to get to the next image in a batch which was the question. Mirevo answered how to see the reference images. Reference images are not in the indexer's batch - they are in the previous batch or the next batch. We would only use reference images to index something in our batch if the last record in our image continued to the first image in the next batch.

    The problem arises when the batches have a preset number of entries, like 1 of 40, but there are only 10 records to index in the batch. Indexers become confused and think they have to fill in all the entries and start looking for more images. They often turn to the reference images in the next batch and index those to complete 40 entries. The reviewer must then delete the excess entries.

    So - if you have a preset number of entries in your Batch, then you will want to delete the excess entries to get the batch to submit. It is the rare project where we use reference images to complete a record and the project instructions usually let us know that is a possibility.

    When I review an entry, I cannot find the arrow to proceed to the next entry after I have complete correcting all that is available.

    When you review a project, if the batch has more than 1 image you will see the arrow on the right end of the image, pending the view of the images on the ribbon on the bottom of the image is hidden.

    Look at the difference of the following images and the location of the arrow to go to next image:

    Hope this has answered your question.
