Is there a way to correct an error?

Is there any way to correct an error after the fact? I was looking at a name that the computer had entered as Grace, but for all the world it looked to me like Trace, so I changed it. When I took another look a few minutes later, I could finally see some faint lines making up the G, but the name was part of a previous batch, so I was unable to fix it. ☹️

    When the "Family Review" feature launches, hopefully in a few days, reviewers will have the opportunity correct errors from the name review process. So I wouldn't worry about not being able to go back to previously completed batches.

    If you haven't finished the batch of names you're working on, you can click the < button at the bottom to go backwards through the names you already reviewed.

    But I've also had this happen where I was still on the same page but in a new batch, and I couldn't make my way back to the previous batch.

    This review process is so quick and easy, I'm not sure why there's even an option for 20 names, 30 names, 50 names, etc. I think it would have been okay for this project to just consider an entire page a batch.
