Change references without rewriting history
Create a second group and compare against its reference.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.
Change references without rewriting history
- Start a comparison
Start a comparison.
Use a known reference and check each label separately. These practice values are synthetic. An exact match is not a physical contents or optical approval.
- Keep every leading zero
Keep every leading zero.
Enter the complete reference. MatchBench preserves each character exactly, including spaces and leading zeroes.
- Move on to checking labels
Move on to checking labels.
The reference stays fixed until you deliberately change it. Each submitted comparison stays in history.
- Check an identical value
Check an identical value.
All six characters agree. A match proves only that the decoded values are equal, not that two separate physical labels were scanned.
- Choose to change the reference
Choose to change the reference.
Changing the reference starts a new group. Earlier comparisons keep their original reference and outcome.
- Enter the new reference
Enter the new reference.
Use REF-002 for the next checks. The original 000017 group remains unchanged.
- Move on to checking labels
Move on to checking labels.
The reference stays fixed until you deliberately change it. Each submitted comparison stays in history.
- Check the old value against the new reference
Check the old value against the new reference.
The old value now differs because REF-002 is the active reference. MatchBench does not rewrite the earlier exact match.
- Check the new reference exactly
Check the new reference exactly.
This value matches REF-002. Both groups and every check remain in the review.
- Review every retained check
Review every retained check.
Review the newest check first, with its original reference and recorded entry source. A correction does not delete the earlier observation.
