Libra Colour Replace Book with Newer Version but keep annotations

LakesideMiners · 02-18-2026, 07:08 PM

I read a lot of fanfiction, and, sometimes they are work in progress ones, in which new chapters are going to be released as time goes on,
is there a way I can more or less "update" the book on my Kobo, but keep the annotations?
Thanks

On the Collections, covers & uploads tab of the KoboTouch driver configuration dialog, check the Do not treat replacements as new books option.

Note that this can cause issues when the table of content changes which is likely to be an problem with most updated fanfics. In most cases, this can be fixed by using the Update ToC for selected books option in the Kobo Utilities plugin.
