    My first index (no beginner available). Burial page only has 8 entries, but the system says 10. Quality check won't allow me to Submit Batch. How do I remove the 2 expected Entries?

      Go to the icons at the top of the page. Click on the trash can icon. It will ask you if you want to delete all blank records or just the record you are on. Choose "all blank entries". I have had some batches where this option didn't work and I had to delete each extra record one at a time. If the batch won't accept either option, then mark each required field "Blank" for each record.

      @KetchieDebraLee1 when the entries won't delete using "all blank entries", it is because something in the entry isn't blank! This happens when you use the Copy Text forward tool. For instance, perhaps you knew they would all have the same year and entered that in all the pre-set entries. You would have to remove the information and then copy the empty space forward. Then all entries will delete using the trash can.

      As a beginner, you might benefit from the following guide to the horizontal toolbar:
