Newbie, fist time
I figured out how to start indexing for the first time. I got a page of burial records.
There are 8 entries of page 466 of the record and I recorded them all. When I did a quality check it says I need to make two more entries. I couldn't figure out how to turn the to next page.
I found the link for "reference images"--which all say do not index. There are 10 images from 461 to 471. Should I use these reference images which are marked "do not index" (one of which shows the page I already entered) to continue from the 8 entries I did on page 466?
If not how do I get to the next page?
As there are several pages before and after the page I was given to start on, page 466--is my goal to index all of the rest of the pages after 466 into my "batch"? Or just the next two entries on page 467? Or all of the entries from 461 to 471?
Also if I am not supposed to index from the reference images I found--what do I use to continue indexing to finish my batch?
After I send my batch--since this is my first time will I get feed back on what I did wrong--or if I did it all correctly will I get feedback that all of OK?
Many Thanks

Here is an explanation/discussion on using the trash can icon to delete the extra entry forms. A project can be set to a certain number and you delete those you don't need and add extras if you need more:

Others can best help if you share your batch code or link with the group. Here's how-

You will not receive feedback. If you want someone to take a look at what you have done, you can hold it for a day and post the batch number here and someone can look at what you have completed and give you suggestions. That's what I did when I first started. But definitely watch the video.
