There's a lot of helpful information in the Get Involved Overview.

@JLS That’s right! Get involved is where you will find opportunities to index records. Sign in to FamilySearch and you will find the Get Involved button right at the top of the page. When you click on the tab the drop down menu gives you several options, most of which, if you keep scrolling, give you opportunities to index. You can review and also correct the indexed records, or verify place names. It only takes a few minutes to do a batch or two. It’s easy and quite self explanatory once you start. When you finish indexing there is even a spot where they keep track of how many names you have reviewed! It’s fun to do when you have a little time. I hope you will try it out. Thanks for asking!

@betsy123 my understanding is that genuine Indexing Review opportunities (as opposed to Name Review ones, which as I understand it just involve checking/fixing AI's interpretation of manuscript names) are currently limited to Spanish language records.
@JLS it is also important for you to be aware that the pre-AI FamilySearch Indexing function is no longer available to users.
