Indexing a page that has no index
Hello,
I would love to index a page like this one:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-64V3-CCK?view=index&cc=1607939&lang=en&groupId=
I can't figure out how to add to the index. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

@RootExplorer850 I don't believe we are able to request to index specific collections or individual records, nor can you choose to do it yourself. You can sometimes correct an existing index, but not create a new one.
FamilySearch is working to make more records available online, but the process from retrieving records to indexing and publishing them can be complex, and sometimes it takes a little time before certain collections are ready. Each index goes through several careful reviews, and in some cases, contractual agreements may limit what can be indexed or published.
🔍 Indexing itself is evolving! If you’d like to learn more about the changes, take a look at the article “How is Indexing Changing”for the latest updates.
You can, however, get involved with indexing or similar projects. FamilySearch is always looking for help. On the FamilySearch home page, click the Get Involved tab, and then from the drop-down menu, click Opportunities. Explore the range of activities you find there. Most of these activities focus on making the information in historical records easier to find and improving information in the FamilySearch Family Tree.

This isn't so much a request to index as it is reporting a problem.
For the record in the link by the OP, that one page is not indexed. I only scrolled to the left and right a few pages, but it seems that the other records in the collection are all indexed.
How can we get this corrected?

Thanks, MazyPutnam and Nyx773. If you know of a way I can ask for getting this one page corrected, I would be happy to follow up and share results with the community.

@RootExplorer850 I do wish there was a way for users to restore lost indexes. 😟
Once a film has been indexed, encountering one or more screens that are not indexed may indicate lost permissions or other factors preventing access to the original indexing. Engineers are aware of this issue and currently there is no option available for re-indexing.
