send note on last batch submitted

Often after we do a batch in a new project, then start another one in the same project, the 2nd batch helps us realize mistakes we made in the first batch. It would be absolutely wonderful if were finally able to send a note back on the batch we just completed. I know people have requested this for years.

I just wish I remembered or knew how to find evidence of these requests from years ago. I don't find it by searching anymore. Anyone else know where to find them, so I can upvote them?

Wish I knew how to make my own tags too.

    Hi @D Todd Wolford

    FS recently “archived” any ideas/suggestions from earlier than 2020 (or maybe 2020 and earlier). So the number of hem went from about 33K to about 3K. I don’t think they are searchable anymore.

    Most of us have had that “last moment realization” experience. The Reviewer should catch and correct such an error. I remember a variety of suggestions on how to deal with the “submitter’s remorse” issue (delayed submit, outbox, etc.). Nothing was ever done, nor did anyone with FS offer encouragement that anything would be. But I’ll give you an upvote.

    One thing you can do if you uncover a pitfall that might catch a new Indexer of a certain project is to post an alert on the indexing Q&A forum so that other Indexers new to that project can possibly benefit from your “oh nuts!” moment.
