Q:  Just wondering about: "Click this link to reset the counter."

Which counter does it reset?

Many thanks.

A: Imagine you have 10,000 records in your database but you only want to post 500 right now. If you run your project with a post limit of 500, EZEB will now show you a link in your project that looks something like the image you attached:

"All 500 records (based on post limit setting) have been saved to posts.
Click this link to reset the counter. Or click this delete link to remove all posts created by this project."

This project can no longer be run because it's holding the last run in the counter (ie., the last 500 records). This means, at anytime, you can delete those last 500 posts with the click of a link.

If you decide at some point to run it again and post an additional 500 or any other number of posts, you'd need to reset the counter thereby removing that message and delete link and reseting the project so it can be run again to post additional records. Past posted records will not be re-posted. Keep in mind that doing this eliminates your ability for one-click delete of the 1st 500 posts.
