Is there a way to copy the old files metadata onto the new one and then delete the old one, or do I need to do this manually?
I'm using 9.12 on a Windows 11 PC and haven't made any changes to how Calibre organizes the Library from installation except for it's location.
Thanks, PJG

Select the book you want to replace. Press the E key to bring up the metadata editor window. In the upper right order, select and delete the eBook that's there. Then drag/drop the new version you want in the save place in the upper right. If you've a different cover, once you've put the book you want in place of the one that was there, just select the book and click the blue button next to the format and that will copy the cover.
