60-second summary

Quick answer

Open the project from Library and use the inline title edit control. It changes the title only; set author or imprint identity during creation where available or in Publisher Profile and publishing settings.

Before you start

What you need

  • Open the correct Library book and its detail page.
  • Prepare a non-empty replacement title; the inline control does not edit author or subtitle fields.

Procedure

Complete the task step by step

  1. 01

    Open the project

    Go to Library and open the correct book card and detail page.

    Current app screenAutomateed inline book title edit control
    Use the pencil beside the title on the book detail page, then verify the publishing metadata before sharing the public page.
  2. 02

    Use the title edit control

    Select the edit icon beside the title on the book detail page.

  3. 03

    Enter the new title

    This inline control changes the title only; it does not edit subtitle or author name.

  4. 04

    Save and verify

    Save the update, refresh the detail page and check the cover separately if it contains old title text.

Success check

Confirm that it worked

  • The app displays “Book title updated successfully”.
  • The new title remains visible after the detail page is reloaded.

Important notes

  • The pencil tooltip is “Edit book title” and its dialog is “Edit Book Title”.
  • Changing metadata does not rewrite text already rendered into the cover image; inspect and replace the cover separately if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If it still does not work

The new title cannot be saved

Enter at least one non-whitespace character. An empty value produces “Book title cannot be empty”.
