Hi, Rui. I agree with you to a point, but sometimes, it's not an issue of the
validator screwing up. Sometimes, we may not catch something, or sometimes,
something might not be as clear as we thought it was, but that doesn't mean we
actually screwed up. Especially when a lot of work was done to clean up a book,
I still think it's a shame that at least all that editing work is lost. Take
care.

Hi Everyone:
I am about to disagree with all of you.
If I was a bookshare engineer, I would design the system to bounce back the
original submissions not the edited ones on the step 1 page.
I basically take the "all or nothing approach."
if i validate a book, and i screw up (yes it has happened) it should go back
to square 1 to someone else.
Now if i see that it bounced back, I can upload my saved copy and make the
changes that have been requested.
So I like the current procedure.
Rui's bookshare golden rule: Always keep a saved copy until a book is in the
collection

Hi, Marissa. I know this is beyond your control, but would it not be
possible, when a book has to be bounced back, to at least keep the validated
version intact so all the editing that did take place isn't lost? This has
never happened to me, but I know it has to be frustrating for those to whom it
does happen. Take care.

Hi Tiffany,
You are correct. When the books are bounced back to the validation cue,
it is the original copy of the file. I don't particularly like this policy, but
it's essentially beyond my control to change it at present. So you don't lose
your validation work or credit, I suggest keeping a saved copy of the books you
validate on your hard-drive until you get the official approval notice.
I know it would be ideal if a note could be sent out when a book bounces
back to the approval cue. I'll talk to the engineers and see what we can do.
Best,
Marissa

Hello.
On the step one page tonight, I found a few books which have already been
validated and approved, but they say they were bounced back to the step one
page for different reasons, checking page breaks, copyright information, etc.
My question is, when it's bounced back to the step one page, is that copy
the original file again, or the already validated once cleaned-up copy?
I would really hope it to be the second, but they're appearing back in
their original formats, so I'm left to assume the second.
Tiffany
