Author dashboard area on Goodreads home page

[Rachelle]

Hi. I had a question about the author dashboard section in the upper right-hand corner of the Goodreads home page. I recently added a new edition of my book, and it is set to be the primary edition. When I go to my profile or the main page for my author dashboard, the newest edition is the one that shows up. However, on the main page of Goodreads only, the old edition (and cover) is the one showing up in the author dashboard section at the top. So I was wondering why that might be the case if that one isn't the primary edition. It's not an issue really; I was curious more than anything.

It is difficult to know what you're looking at because only authors can see their dashboards, but as far as I know, the edition visible on the dashboard is the first one entered, it doesn't change when another edition is chosen as the default.

Ah, I didn't realize that. That would make sense why I'm not seeing the newest version then. Like I said, it really doesn't matter in the long run; it was just a strange quirk I wondered about. Thanks!
