Is there a way to move entries between images?

I'm noticing while reviewing "Ghana—2010 Census" that most indexers did not follow the project instructions. They are indexing each image individually, but the project instructions are clear to combine people entries from all the images into the first image (even though the first image doesn't have any names on it).

I can think of a couple of ways to address this:
1. Find a way to move entries between images (but maybe that doesn't exist)
2. Reindex all of them.
3. Review and submit them with all info on the wrong image, not following the project instructions (most indexers are indexing the 2nd image with most of the info, rather than in the first image).

Any ideas or suggestions?

    4. FamilySearch revises the project instructions to be less weird 🤣

    It looks like they pulled this project. I agree 90% of the batches I reviewed were done incorrectly. Hopefully the project managers will re-post this project with clearer instructions. Someone did a lot of work incorrectly which wasted their time and ours as reviewers. Fingers crossed that it shows up again. I thought it was an interesting project.

    If there are any FamilySearch employees out there —
    This "Ghana—2010 Census" project is an excellent candidate for AI indexing followed by human reviewers!

    The fixed form plus block letter writing on most of the forms makes it easy for ChatGPT (or OpenAI API or whatever you're using) to recognize, and AI can do a better job of navigating complex forms (with a good prompt). But humans make a lot of errors transcribing because the form and indexing instructions are complex.

    However, reviewing is easy, assuming the indexing is done mostly correctly.

    My opinion, since 1960's when computers began to be available to families/households/businesses alike, all we had (and still do) are Humans who created both computers & AI — we always had one saying above all others —- "garbage in, garbage out" —- this saying reminded us that as humans we need to be especially careful because every one of us makes mistakes — even AI! And maybe, in some cases, AI is one of those mistakes remember I said MY opinion so relax and enjoy🤣🤣
