In my case, I've updated my personal.ini to format my title page a certain way. I do see the new format when I add new fics or update a current fic.

However, I have thousands of fics in my library and afraid running a batch update will flag my IP address on AO3. Also I don't want to accidentally delete/mess up my existing fics since I know there's several where the links are dead or the author has deleted the fic off the site.
Use Update Always as that'll update the title page but not story text.

a) Mark them all with @cleanup or some tag. Then go though them a few at a time and remove the tag to know you finished. Expect this to take weeks.

b) FFF won't update a deleted story, just skip over them. I mark those ones as Status: Abandoned. (I also have 'Dormant' for not updated in past 365 days.)
