This works if edits are limited to fixing a typo or updating some formatting in the CSS. Unfortunately, as seen here, it will not work if the Table of Contents is changed or if a change is made to how files are split. (and maybe if whole paragraphs are added/removed.)
I have been changing Tables of Contents or removing sections, so that's likely it.

It sounds as if the answer is to turn off "Do not Treat replacement books as new books". My usual edit is because the font is too small (CSS formatting), something I notice quickly, so losing TOC, etc. is not a problem. I only edit other things once I start due to CSS issues. I suppose the alternative is not to edit anything else and leave the option checked.

I'm I understanding correctly?
