Update eBook files and metadata
Go to the Hub section of your dashboard and click on Catalog > Items, search for the eBook to be updated using the search tool and click on the title to open the article card.
At this point, click on:
- the METADATA section if you need to update the file's metadata (synopsis, categories, etc.)
- ASSETS to update ePub and / or cover files
- DISTRIBUTION if you intend to make changes to the price or to the libraries authorized to sell your book.
Once you have completed the editing, click the Update button at the bottom of the page to save. The stores will update the ebook within 24-72 hours.
NOTE:
Amazon: update the file in the indicated time but not the preview, which takes 7-10 days to be updated.
Apple: due to additional checks on files and content, iBooks updates may take 3 to 5 business days.
ATTENTION: the ISBN or Book title field cannot be changed. If you need to update the ISBN of one of your books, please remove it from sale and proceed with a new publication indicating the correct ISBN.
You can make minor updates to a book's title (for example, to correct typos), but you cannot completely change the title in the metadata and/or on the cover. In the latter case, it is considered a new edition of the book, and the previous version must be withdrawn. A new version should then be published by creating a new article card with a new ISBN.
