Comment: Updated: removed Note that said the spreadsheet being imported MUST be closed before importing. No longer necessary. Added note that if you don't see the import buttons control, it's because the clerk id does not have persmission to change prior batches.

Tip
titleSave spreadsheet, but leave it open

After saving your updated spreadsheet (File/Save or Control-S), keep it open.  It will be easier, more efficient, and faster to test your changes and make modifications iteratively than opening and closing your spreadsheet.  In the past, the spreadsheet did need to be closed for it to be uploaded.  That's been changed. Now, you can just leave it open.  Just be sure to save it before uploading.  

Sign in to the register. If you are already in the register, back out of the register to the batch screen.
