I had an issue where the whole name is in one highlight. I skipped it for now, but I am wondering if there is a way to correct the highlight. Or, should I just use the whole name?

    @dancingintherain can you help with this please? The help text at https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/help-with-quick-name-review doesn't seem to provide anything on the detail of correcting highlights. Thanks.

    What was the name in the text box? Did it match the highlight? You can't edit the highlight in Quick Name Review. You can edit what is shown in the text box. So, if the whole name is highlighted, you can choose the edit option and type the highlighted name. Here is what I found in a help article:

    1. Compare the handwritten name in the image with the indexed name shown in the text box below the highlight.
      • If you determine that the indexed name shown in the text box matches the highlighted name on the record, click Match. The two names should be spelled exactly the same.
      • If you determine that the indexed name shown in the text box does not match the highlighted name on the record, click Edit, make the correction, and click Submit.
        • An example might be if the computer indexed "george" when the text clearly reads "George." In that case, fix the mistake and click Match.
      • If you cannot read the name in the image, click Unsure. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/help-with-quick-name-review
