Batch selection
Whenever you select a setting in the Batch table of the Batch window, it also
immediately appears in the Inspector window with “Batch selection” in the Name field.
This is a temporary copy of the setting and not the setting itself, so you can make
temporary modifications to the setting for just that one batch submission.
When you modify the Batch selection, the Save As button at the bottom of the
Inspector window becomes active. Click Save As to save the modified setting with a
new name. The saved copy appears in the Settings table as Setting Name-Copy, and
immediately becomes the selected setting in the Settings table.
About the Inspector
