I fully admit I'm new to Calibre and making epub metadata changes.

I have made changes to my epub metatadata, but even after saving, the epub file doesn't reflect those changes when I drag/drop that file onto my ipad. (drag it from my file system onto my ipad)

In Preferences > Saving Books to Disk, I have "Update metadata in saved copies" checked off.

I have my epubs in Calibre. I make a change to the info, hit save. Go to file explorer, drag the epub onto my device. In some cases, the data has been changed. Others, not at all.

Is there a rhyme or reason, perhaps something stupid I am doing?
