60-second summary

Quick answer

Use Edit Cover with AI from the book detail page, give one focused change, wait for processing, then refresh once before retrying because the edited image can finish after the request returns.

Before you start

What you need

  • Sign in to the Automateed account that owns the relevant project or purchase.
  • Have the project, source file or account setting needed for “Open Edit Cover with AI” ready before changing anything.

Procedure

Complete the task step by step

  1. 01

    Open Edit Cover with AI

    Use the action below the cover on the book detail page.

    Current app screenAutomateed Download Cover and Edit Cover with AI controls
    Edit Cover with AI sits directly below the saved cover. Confirm the new cover appears here before starting another paid edit.
  2. 02

    Write one focused request

    Describe the single most important visual change instead of replacing every element at once.

  3. 03

    Keep required text explicit

    State which title, subtitle and author wording must remain unchanged.

  4. 04

    Wait for processing

    Image editing can take longer than text generation; remain on the project until the result returns.

  5. 05

    Refresh after completion

    If the success message and thumbnail disagree, refresh once to load the new stored image.

Success check

Confirm that it worked

  • The expected result from “Refresh after completion” is visible in the relevant Automateed screen or exported file.
  • Refresh the page once and confirm the saved state remains unchanged.

Important notes

  • Available controls can differ by book type, plan and current project status.
  • Review generated content, facts, usage rights and final files before publishing or selling.

Troubleshooting

If it still does not work

The request reports failure but a new cover appears after refresh

Do not submit the edit again. Refresh the detail page once and compare the stored cover; image processing can finish after the browser request times out.

The old cover remains on a published page

Confirm the new cover on the book detail page first, then save the published product again. Public images can also remain cached briefly after the source file changes.
