Confused

I'm new to indexing, just started today. I was given 6 images of Voter Registration cards. I input all the info but no new images came up. Just the same 6.

Am I just supposed to keep entering the same info from the same cards.

Help!

Welcome to Indexing. The best way to get an answer to a question is to share the batch and provide the title of your project. This is done by clicking on the third icon from the right and copying and pasting the link and/or the batch code. Or you can copy the URL and paste that too.

From what you said, I'll try to help with a couple of options.

Once you have indexed the 6 images, then you need to submit the batch and get another batch. You would not ever be asked to index the same 6 images over and over.

If you have a project that has a number of preset entries like 1 of 30, then you would index the information and delete the unused entries using the trash can icon, select "all blank entries", click delete.

I would suggest watching an excellent video that will help you learn about indexing: Getting Started with FamilySearch Web Indexing - BYU Webinar Kathryn Grant (YouTube) You might also click on the tab for Indexing Help and take the guided tour which is a quick lesson in web-indexing, if you haven't already.

Also, you should join the group Indexing Chat. At the top of the page you will see a box with a lot of great links to help you learn more about indexing. You simply scroll to the right in the box and you will find very valuable information.

Good luck and if I haven't helped you, please share the batch and ask more questions!
