My Book Details panel is also on the right. Didn't realise you can have it on the right or left.

Thanks for that. It seem relatively simply and easy to update the content of a book. Just to clarify, this only works if the book titles are the same?

If I wanted to keep the existing content, but not throw away the new content, I would do the same except I would drag-drop the new content file into Book Details panel of the book in the "Archive" library.

I like the way of managing the books into different libraries before making it final. Are the different libraries in the same instance or do you have them in different instances do you can see them side by side?

Does that mean you also have a massive "Archive" library as well as your "Target" Main/Normal library?
