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
- 01
Finish content edits first
EPUB should be generated after chapter text and order are final.
Current app screen
Choose EPUB from the visible Download menu, then proof the resulting file in an EPUB reader. - 02
Choose EPUB from Download
Use the export menu on the preview/download page.
- 03
Inspect the file in an EPUB reader
Check navigation, headings, images and paragraph flow on more than one screen size.
- 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.
