Book menu
A book is a collection of one or more sheets, each with its current state of transcription. It can be saved and reloaded at any time during a processing session.
As opposed to Loading an image which restarts from the initial image, loading a saved book allows to resume processing from the last step saved. This is especially useful for processing books with many sheets.
