How do I see a previous image in the 1950 census

The first line of this image has a line for the last name, indicating it is the same name as above. The last name is on the previous image and so to determine the last name, I need to go back one page. How do I do that, or is this another bug that needs fixed.

    We are instructed in the FAQ to leave the "--" as is and mark as a Match. In the Family Review, when we start doing that, we will then add the surname from the previous page.

    I also ran into a case like this where there was a last name in the field even though it was the second page of a family and the last name field just had a line in it - no name. It sounds like we should change the last name to a “-“ in that case. There isn’t a way to see the previous page to see if that is the correct last name for the family.

    Remember that we are only reviewing the indexes done by Ancestry AI. We are not actually indexing images. When we start the Family Review, we should be able to add the correct name from the previous page.

    If the program has the correct last name, leave it there rather than changing to a "-". If is has a "-" click it as a match. Family Search will have people later go in and type in the surnames. We are just the first wave.
