In most instances, bibliographic information for your titles will be fed by your publisher or distributor, so when you upload a Digital Review Copy, all of that information will be automatically present for the related title. If Edelweiss has not received a data feed for a title, you will need to manually upload the metadata for your DRCs, or ask your publisher/distributor to send it over.

If you’d like to manually add title information, you can do so after adding your new ISBN to a catalog and editing via the listing’s Title Administration screen. Here’s more on the process! You can also add information on your Review Copies > Administer page (info below).

Note that these methods should be used if (and only if) Edelweiss has not received a data feed for a title. If we do receive a feed with your titles’ bibliographic data, edits and updates should be completed within that feed rather than manually within Edelweiss to avoid updates being overwritten/undone by a future feed.

Once a title’s DRC is uploaded, you’ll see it listed in the Recently Imported section of your Review Copies Administration page:

Click on the Edit icon (the pencil next to the title) to manually update title data. Again, this tool/icon is only available if we have not received a feed for the title!

In the resulting window, you’ll see a number of tabs, all of which allow you to add as much information as you’d like for the title.

Each screen/tab will have a Next button for moving from page to page, or you can also select specific tabs:

You can (and should!) add images when relevant, BISAC categories, Key Selling Points, Author Biographies, Comparable Titles, and all the other important information to provide your customers and readers with a complete listing.

Once finished, be sure to Save to immediately update your title listing.
