  2. As an add-on optional update feature, like the existing "Update EPUB Cover" checkbox? IE, to be applied after updating epub and Calibre columns.
  3. As a separate action, similar to 'Remove "New" Chapter Marks from Selected books'?
Opinions?
Does it make a big difference: which option is easier to integrate and maintain?
Basically, I would be happy with each of these options.

But as I would use it to update the title page on single books before sending it to my reader I would prefer Option 3.
Another advantage: it could also be used via a shortcut.

Otherwise option 1 sounds good.

As for option 2: I think that´s not necessary as an optional update feature. Most of the update modes already update the title page while downloading – if there are changes or I use "overwrite always"
And if checked – would it always update the title page? Regardless of whether the epub is updated or not? Or only if no changes are made to the epub otherwise? With which update mode should it be combined to use?
It could lead to confusion as it provides different possible combinations.


General questions about it:
- Does it only use Saved Metadata Columns? Or also costum columns?
- How does option 2 fare if the original story has been deleted from the site?
