How to edit your book title

You can update your book title at any time if you are the book owner or have permission to edit book settings. The location of the edit option depends on whether you have completed the book setup checklist.

If you have not yet finished your book setup task list, you can change the title by returning to the Begin Your Book task. Even if that task is marked as complete, you can reopen it. Inside that task, there is an edit option that allows you to update the book title. After making changes, save your updates.

If you have already completed the book checklist, the title is edited from the main book dashboard. On the summary page for the book, you will see an Edit Book Details button. Selecting this option allows you to update the title and save your changes.

The new title updates immediately across the platform, including your dashboard and any public-facing book pages where the title is displayed.

Changing the title does not affect chapters, worksheets, contributors, or submission history. It only updates the name of the book.

In personal books, the owner can edit the title at any time. In community books and private group books, only the book owner or designated managers with permission to modify book details can change the title. Contributors without those permissions will not see the option to edit it.

If your book is already public or actively collaborative, consider how a title change may affect readers or contributors before updating it.
