Publishing Your Book

How do I make changes to a book after it's published?

Edit the book in your dashboard, upload a corrected file or metadata, and resubmit — Chiify re-reviews and re-delivers the update to your stores.

Yes, you can fix typos, update your cover, change the description, or replace the file after a book is live.

How to update

  1. Open the book in your dashboard and make your changes — new file, new cover, or edited metadata.
  2. Resubmit. The update goes through Chiify's 24–48 hour review again.
  3. Chiify re-delivers the new version to your stores, which apply it on their schedule.

What to know

  • Existing buyers generally are not automatically re-sent the new file; some stores offer readers an update, but do not count on it. Get the book right before a big launch.
  • Price changes propagate to stores but each retailer applies them on its own timing.
  • Major content changes (a substantially different book) should usually be a new edition, not a silent swap.

For a temporary price change

Use the price promotion tool rather than manually editing the price back and forth.
