Hi,

I am working with panels in OpenPnP 2.4 (5x5 boards, same board repeated).
The panel itself works correctly for placement, but I am missing a way to visually
inspect or step through each board instance in the panel before running a job.

What I am specifically looking for is one of the following:

- A way to move the camera (or head) sequentially to each board instance
  in a panel (e.g. Brd[1,1] -> Brd[1,2] -> ... -> Brd[5,5])
- Or a panel preview / board instance selection that allows manual inspection
  of every board position

Currently, the only available options seem to be:
- Running the job and relying on fiducial checking
- Inspecting logs to confirm that all panel instances are processed

While fiducial checking is useful, it does not provide a practical visual
inspection workflow, especially during panel setup and debugging.

Is there any built-in way to:
- Step through board instances in a panel
- Visually verify camera alignment for each board
- Or is this currently not supported by design?

If this is not supported, is there any recommended or planned approach
(e.g. scripting, future UI support)?

Thanks.

Don't these two buttons do what you want?

I figured it out. Sorry, I created the JOB incorrectly.
