Indexing a page with entry starting on previous batch

Greetings,

I'm fairly new to indexing, so I'm still trying to figure out some specific situations.

I've found this question answered already, but it seems that I cannot access the page for some reason, so, sorry for the duplicate.

I'm currently indexing an italian marriage register batch (I'm italian). Entries are quite long.

General question: If a page contain only the continuation of an entry starting on previous page, do I have to flag it as YES for indexing?

"special" case: If the batch have an initial page whose entry starts on the last page of previous batch, or is the last page with the entry going on into subsequent batch, do I flag it as YES and proceed indexing it using the compare tool to retrieve the missing bits or I just skip it because it will be already indexed

What's the guidelines on this aspect?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help

    Buenos días Luca:

    Si el registro está empezado,es decir comienza en un lote que es el que no estás indexando , NO debes indexar lo.

    Si el registro está empezado y es el último del lote pero te faltan datos porque sigue en un lote posterior , puedes mirar esos datos que faltan con la herramienta "imagen de referencia"
