Share a Batch for Indexing Help! Every batch you index could be different, and you may run into a specific question that you need to share with someone else. If you are ever in this situation, you can share that batch with a friend, another indexer or arbitrator, someone from support, a local leader, or even on Facebook. The Share Batch feature can help you receive answers to batch-­‐specific questions. By sharing the batch, you can collaborate with others to receive a better understanding of the problem and a solution. Share a batch by following these steps: 1. From within your open batch, click on File, then Share Batch. 2. Write down the number, or click Copy Number. 3. Give this number to the person with whom you want to share your batch. You could share this batch number with someone from support, the FamilySearch indexing Facebook community, or a fellow indexer or arbitrator. The Share Batch feature is only helpful if other volunteers know how to view a shared batch. Viewing a shared batch is just as simple as sharing a batch: 1. From the indexing start page, click on File, then View Shared Batch. 2. Enter the share batch number, and click OK. 3. The batch is now downloaded and available for viewing only. Please note that any work you do on a shared batch will not be saved. Only the indexer can save information in the batch and submit the record set. If you are ever stuck on a name, place, date, and such, try the Share Batch feature. You’ll find out you’re not alone—you have the whole indexing world to help you!
