What does "in Progress" mean?

Question

When a document's transcription is "in progress" can others work on it?

Hi Jim, Great question! You should feel free to jump in and work on anything marked "in progress." Those documents have been saved but not submitted for review. Usually that's because a volunteer hasn't been able to complete the transcription for some reason-maybe they ran out of time, lost interest, or had a hard time working out the hand-writing. Or sometimes someone has completed a transcription but they had to leave a lot of question marks and so are leaving it for other volunteers to pick up and complete. It's a feature that allows volunteers to save the work they've done but without having to submit it for final review. Hope that helps! Abby By the People Community Manager
