If there were no errors, you have several options:

1. update more - Clears the options but maintains the selected sequence
2. undo - Reverts the changes that were just made
3. reset form - Clears the options as well as the selected sequence

notes

• Multi-find performs an exact match search on the marker comment based on your marker settings.  If you select "no description", then the whole marker comment will be matched.  If you select any other option that separates the primary and secondary data, then only the primary data (i.e., vfx shot id) is matched.
• If the pasted marker data does not appear in the dropped markers, you must remove the problem text before continuing.
• If the dropped markers contain duplicate comments, only the first matched marker, determined by timecode order, will be updated.
• If you "copy" a marker to a different track where another marker already exists, the target marker will be overwritten and updated.
• If you "move" a marker to a different track where another marker already exists, multi-find will return an error that the marker's track could not be changed.  However, other markers in the sequence that were not blocked may still be moved.  It is recommended to undo the action and either change the target track or remove the interfering marker(s) and try again.
