How can I edit metadata?
Totally flummoxed. They told me to use Calibre to edit my metadata for a Lulu.com book I am trying to get published on their platform. It is not easy, and I have no idea how to use Calibre for this.

Assumes your book is in the current Calbre Library

Set your metadata (fully) in the Library (Metadata editor screen).
Use the Polish icon: configured to Update (will Add) Metadata and Covers.

Done

Best to start a new thread in the Calibre>Editor subforum, rather than tacking onto a non-related thread.

I can walk you through it once you create the new thread. But a bit more detail will help, like what kind of metadata needs to be updated.
