Thank you. This satisfactorily addresses my main concerns on that matter.  In

As  some of you have mentioned, when volunteers release a book it would be 
ideal  to have a comments field where you can include reasons for the release 
that  would be useful to the future validator. 
I  will put in a request for this feature to be included in the new site, but 
in  the interim it would be helpful if the following procedures could be  
followed: 
1.       In  the event that you have started validating a title but are 
unable to complete  it due to an issue with the scan itself: Reject the title 
with 
a note to  Carrie in the comments section. Mention the issue(s) at hand and 
make a  request that the book be returned with your edits retained. Carrie will 
send  the edited file to the download list, and the comments regarding the 
issues  will be visible to all logged in volunteers on the title history  page. 
2.       In  the event that you have started validating a title and are 
unable to complete  it due to personal reasons (lack of time etc): Instead of 
releasing the title  reject it with a request to Carrie in the comments section 
that your edits be  retained. Carrie will send the edited file to the download 
list. And someone  else can pick it up where you left off. (Please note that if 
you choose simply  to release the book instead of rejecting it, your edits 
will not be  retained). 
Just  so you know -- in practice Carrie typically retains edits on rejected 
titles  unless there is an obvious reason not to (but it won’t hurt to make an  
explicit request if you want your edits retained). 
I  hope this will help save time for some of you and as usual if there is  
anything unclear about the above please let me know. 
All  good things,
