I replied to Jamie's email before reading this one so it looks like I may  
have been incorrect in that reply. I take it now, then, that you mean that  
rather than clicking the reject button on the final page of the upload process  
we 
should click the accept button and include the recommendation that the book  
be returned to step one in the comments field? In a message dated 9/17/2008

Jamie  – thanks for pointing that out.  
Carrie  and I somehow missed that obvious fact when going over this together  
(smile). 
If  you replace the word Reject with Upload the directions will hold  good. 
I’ve  included the amended version below: 
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: Upload 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  Upload it with a request to Carrie in the comments section 
that the  book be returned but your edits 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 
uploading it,  your edits will not be retained). 
Just  so you know -- in practice Carrie typically retains edits on titles she 
 returns unless there is an obvious reason not to (but it won’t hurt to make 
an  explicit request if you want your edits retained). 
Apologies  for any confusion caused by the earlier mail, and thanks again for 
so swiftly  pointing out the mistake. 
All  good things,

When you reject a title,  at present, you do not upload a file, so there is 
no way to retain any  work a validator has done on a rejection.
