# Rescanning tasks

> Handle rescanning tasks in ABBYY Scanning Station: open tasks from Verification Operators, rescan pages, confirm documents, and send them to FlexiCapture.

If a Verification Operator is not satisfied with the quality of scanned pages, they can send a task to Rescanning. A task to rescan the whole batch or particular documents is sent to ABBYY Scanning Station and added to the rescanning tasks. When a new task arrives, the message `New rescanning tasks are available.` appears on the main [toolbar](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/interface/toolbars).

The Scanning Station loads information about new rescanning tasks from the server when the station starts and when you open the **Rescanning Tasks** dialog box. While ABBYY Scanning Station is running, it updates this information every 10 minutes.

<Note>
  To enable sending tasks to Rescanning, select the **Rescanning** option on the **Project Properties → Workflow** tab in the Project Setup Station.
</Note>

## Open the Rescanning Tasks dialog box

Open the **Rescanning Tasks** dialog box in one of the following ways:

* Click **Rescanning Tasks** on the main toolbar.
* Select **Rescanning Tasks** on the **Tools** menu.
* Click the `New rescanning tasks are available.` link on the main toolbar.
* Press **Alt+G**.

## Start a task

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select the task">
    In the **Rescanning Tasks** dialog box, click **Select**. The task is added to the **Rescanning** tab of the [Batches](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/navigator-win) window, and the task documents open in the [image window](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/image-win). Tasks on the **Rescanning** tab are grouped by priority.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load thumbnails (optional)">
    By default, pages load without thumbnails.

    You can load thumbnails in two ways:

    * For selected pages, click **Load Full-Size Thumbnail** on the shortcut menu, or use **Page → Load Full-Size Thumbnail**.
    * For all pages automatically, clear the **Load rescanned pages with small thumbnails** option on the **FlexiCapture Server** tab of **Tools → Options...**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Organize the task (optional)">
    On the **Rescanning** tab of the Batches window, you can reorder documents by dragging them and delete documents and pages from the task. You cannot change the order of pages within a document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Rescan pages

To rescan selected pages, use one of the following ways:

* Select **Rescan Selected Pages** on the page shortcut menu.
* Select **File → Rescan Selected Pages**.
* Click **Rescan Pages** on the main toolbar.

Rescanned document thumbnails display a marker in the bottom-left corner.

## Change the document or batch type

You can change the type of a document submitted for rescanning. When you change the document type, its registration parameters change accordingly.

<Note>
  If the **Prohibit changing batch type and registration parameters when rescanning** option is selected in [Batch Type Properties](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/batch-type-properties), you cannot change the type at the rescanning stage.
</Note>

When an entire batch is submitted for rescanning, you can:

* Change the batch structure: add or remove documents and pages, and reorder pages in documents.
* Change the batch type in the [Batch Type Properties](/flexi-capture/scanning-station/shared/interface/batch-type-properties) dialog box. The new batch type's settings replace the old ones, and the batch is processed with the new settings.
* Change the values of batch and document registration parameters that are not read-only.

When only part of a batch is submitted for rescanning:

* You can change the structure of individual documents, but you cannot create a new document or delete an existing one.
* You cannot change the batch type.
* You can change the values of registration parameters of individual documents that are not read-only.

## Confirm and send the documents

<Steps>
  <Step title="Move between documents">
    Use the **Previous Document to Rescan** and **Next Document to Rescan** buttons on the main toolbar, or the corresponding commands on the **Edit** menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm each document">
    Click **Confirm Rescanned Document** on the main toolbar, or select the corresponding item on the **Edit** menu. Confirmed page thumbnails display a marker in the bottom-left corner.

    <Note>
      If you change the order of documents, confirmation results are reset and you must confirm the rescanned documents again.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the documents">
    When all documents in the task are confirmed, click **Send** in the **Rescanning Tasks** dialog box to send the documents to FlexiCapture.
  </Step>
