Quick answer

Finish text edits first, choose EPUB from the export options, open the file in an EPUB reader and validate it again against the marketplace where you plan to upload it.

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 “Finish content edits first” ready before changing anything.

Procedure

Complete the task step by step

    Use the export menu on the preview/download page.

  3. 03

    Inspect the file in an EPUB reader

    Check navigation, headings, images and paragraph flow on more than one screen size.

  4. 04

    Validate marketplace requirements

    Each distributor can impose additional metadata and file rules.

Success check

Confirm that it worked

  • The expected result from “Validate marketplace requirements” 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 EPUB looks different from the PDF

EPUB is reflowable, so page breaks and image positions change with reader settings. Verify headings, navigation and image order rather than expecting fixed PDF pagination.
