It will select only the books that have been changed. If you want to act on selected books meeting certain criteria and then reverting back to original selections, you can achieve this this way (see attached chain):
- Using chain variables you store book_ids for currently selected books (in a variable called book_ids).
- In the same chain variables action, you define another variable (called new_sel) that iterates over selected books, and only add books that match the criteria you want.
- Add a new action "Search using templates" that select all the books in the variable defined above (new_sel).
- Continue with the rest of your chain
- (Optional) Restore the original selections if you want using "Search using templates" action, and using the book_ids variable defined in the first step.
Edit: You need to remove or rename the original chain before importing the modified version because they have the same name.
