I currently have to delete the book in the Calibre library and readd the book. I'm just looking for a shortcut. The source file is frequently kept on a thumb drive or in my dropbox.com account until it's finalized many revisions later.

Am I storing the original source files in the wrong locations?

Help?

Thank you!
You are the only source of that 'has been updated' information.

I have a custom timestamp field 'EPUB Edited', that I update.
You will need to launch a manual Conversion if you have not also deleted the Mobi format when setting the (up)date
