- save progression
- edit metadata
- remove all changed ePub from Kobo (because metadata are read once by Kobo)
- regenerate epub or kepub
- export to device
- unplug / plug Kobo
- put progression back
Yes, that's basically right. You don't have to do it all in one go, but that will really depend on how many books are involved.

The remove and resend steps are not that needed if you just want to update the metadata. The utilities plugin can update the metadata on the device. But, as you want to rearrange the files on the device it is needed this time.
