I've indexed 20 of 25 names on a land purchase page. I see only 20 names. Do I return the batch?

    For the best (most informed) answer, please include the Batch Code - looks like MXXX-XXX at the end of your batch name.

    But it sounds like you just need to delete (trashcan icon) the extra 5 entries from the 25 the system provided by default when you opened your batch. 25 is just an average number/guess as to how many an Indexer might need to index a typical batch in your project. Any given batch might require more or fewer entries. The plus-sign icon next to the trashcan lets you add entries beyond the default 25 when you need them.

    As John said, you may have a batch with a pre-set number of images. Most projects these days have this. To remove the extra (blank) entries, follow these two steps:

    On the toolbar, click on the trash can icon (8th from the left or the right).

    FireShot Capture 012 - Indexing Tool — FamilySearch.org - www.familysearch.org.png

    This dialog box will appear. Click on "All blank entries" and then click Delete.

    FireShot Capture 013 - Indexing Tool — FamilySearch.org - www.familysearch.org.png

    Once you click Delete, you should be left with 20 entries and will be ready to submit your batch.
