You can make updates to your manuscript, also known as the interior file, if your book is in Draft or Live status. Make changes in your manuscript file first and then follow the steps on this page to re-upload it. If you are making changes that will change the page count of your book by more than 10%, you’ll need to create a new edition.
You can update your manuscript to fix typos or make changes to your book’s content.
