C.J. Anderson (cjanderson) | 41 comments Does anyone know how to change the book displayed/featured on the author dashboard? Each time I click "Home" it shows an icon of old cover to one of my books. How can I change which book/cover is displayed?

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments C.J. - if you follow the instructions in message #4 here you can see how to make the newer versions "Primary" which makes that cover edition show first in searches etc. Only GR authors can make that change, though, so I'll leave it up to you. Any problems, post back and we will do our best to guide you.

C.J. Anderson (cjanderson) | 41 comments Emy,

I followed your instructions and the newer cover says it is the primary edition but my dashboard still displays an older version. Any advice how to fix this?

Can I choose which book is displayed? Or can I only cycle through different covers?

Emy (emypt) | 5037 comments The dashboard may be heavily cached. If it doesn't update in 24-48 hours, raise it here or with support and we can see whether there is a more complex issue. :)

Which are the newer covers you are expecting to see? I will check they are showing from this side...

Keep in mind that the only person who sees your author dashboard is you, the author. Librarians cannot see it, and cannot directly affect it.
