Ideally, you have already ensured that there are no changes to be made before you published your book. But even the best of us tend to miss out on a few errors or might simply want to go back in and change parts of the content based on feedback from readers. Fortunately, the Notion Press Publishing platform makes it extremely easy to make those changes even if you have already published your book. Read on to find out how.
When can you start making the changes?
You can begin editing your book only after 7 days from the time your book is published as it will be locked during this period. After this 7-day period, your book project will be unlocked again for you to make any changes to the book.
What can be changed?
You can change any part of your content in the book, including the layout and your cover design. You can also make changes to the book’s category, description, your bio, the selling prices, and even the keywords.
What cannot be changed?
There are some printing specifications that cannot be changed after publishing as they are linked to your book’s registered ISBN. These specifications include
Book Title
Subtitle
Book Language
Author’s Name
Book Size
Binding Type
Book Interior Color
Book Paper quality
Book Cover Lamination

Step 2: Once you’re in, you can begin making all the changes you want after your book project has been unlocked. You can change everything from the content, the layout, the cover design, the book’s description, author bio, keywords, and even the price, etc.
Changing your book’s layout:
If you have used our Interior Formatting Tool to create your layout online, you can simply navigate to the section you want to make changes and modify your content. As always the Interior Formatting Tool automatically saves the changes you make. After you have edited your content, click “Preview and Finish” to see the changes you have made and click “Save and Continue” to complete this step. PLEASE NOTE: Making significant changes like adding or deleting text will affect your book’s production cost and ergo the MRP as well. Please make sure to check this before you proceed with your submission.
If you have uploaded a print-ready file for your interior pages, simply upload the new interior file that has the changes you have made and the platform will automatically replace the old file with your new one.
