Conversion removes all my edits in book

LucyOne · 04-16-2014, 04:28 AM

I have an epub in which I edited a few typos and the ToC. Then I used conversion to epub to remove fonts and justify text. When I checked the new epub, all my previous edits where gone. Not just the ToC was as it had been originally, but also my corrections were gone. How can this happen?

Any epub to epub conversion will use any existing original_epub file as the source file when doing a conversion. If this original_epub file existed and you were doing all of your edits to the epub file a subsequent epub to epub conversion would use the original_epub as the source and overwrite your epub with its conversion.

I have made this error on more than one occasion.

I don't remember, maybe that was the case. I will look out for this in the future, thanks.
