Manage Books

Edit book details or remove a book. These actions are available to admins and owners from Books Library.

Book processing statuses

After upload, a book moves through a few states, shown in its Status column:

  • Uploading — the file is still being uploaded.
  • Processing — the book is being indexed and its chapters detected.
  • Ready — processing is complete; the book can be opened and used by the AI.
  • Failed — processing didn't complete. The error is shown in the status, and you can select Retry processing from the actions menu to try again without re-uploading.

You can only edit a book once it's Ready, and delete one once it's Ready or Failed.

Editing a book

  1. In Books Library, open the book's actions menu (⋯) and select Edit.
  2. Update any of:
    • Name (required) — if you've changed it, you can restore the original file name.
    • Cover — pick a different page as the cover.
    • Author, Description, Publisher
    • Grade, Subject, Board, Language — used for filtering the library and grounding AI answers.
    • Members with access — who can see and use the book. See Share Books with Members.
  3. Select Save.

Most of these are filled in automatically during processing, so editing is usually a matter of correcting a detail rather than entering everything yourself.

Chapters

Chapters are detected automatically during processing and shown on the book's page with their start and end pages. They're read-only — if the detected chapters look wrong, retry processing or re-upload a cleaner PDF.

Deleting a book

  1. Open the book's actions menu (⋯) and select Delete.
  2. Confirm in the dialog.

Deleting a book can't be undone.
