An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier that helps your book be recognized, cataloged, and distributed across retailers, libraries, and publishing platforms.

Updating your ISBN ensures your book is associated with the correct identifier, making it easier for retailers and readers to find and identify your title. If you have a new or corrected ISBN, you can update it here to keep your book’s information accurate.

In the editor, navigate to your back cover page and at the top right click on "Edit ISBN barcode."

The ISBN Barcode modal will open where you can add the new ISBN code.

Click "Update barcode."

The new ISBN code will be applied.
