Goodreads Is Getting Rid Of Some Features

[Arch]

I don’t always check my email and when I did Friday, I saw that I have gotten an email from Goodreads letting me know that they are getting rid of some of their features. They have listed the ones that I’d used and informed me that I can download my data.

Check the email that you have set your Goodreads account with to see which features you will no longer be able to use.

If you did not get an email, it could be because you did not use the features that Goodreads are getting rid of.

Thanks for the heads up

Do you know what all they changed? I saw they changed the book pages.

This is what they have told me that they were getting rid of:

We will be phasing out the following for which our records show you've added content:

Updates to reviews creation
To streamline the review creation page on desktop, we will no longer include the options of who recommended a book and who to recommend it to after July 5, 2022. If you would like to recommend a book to a friend on Goodreads, you can do this easily from the recommend a book page. If you would still like to record who recommended it within the book review, we suggest you add this directly to the review or in the private notes section on the review edit page (learn how to add a private note).

Owned books
As part of streamlining our reviews creation page on desktop, we're phasing out the option to add details about owned books such as condition and purchase date on July 5, 2022. Members will still have the option to mark a book as owned within the 'more details' section when writing their review on desktop. You can later view a list of your owned books by adding the owned books column in My Books (learn how to customize the My Books page). Visit our help center to learn how to create and add books to your 'owned' bookshelf.

Friend stories, Quizzes, Trivia, and/or Adding a photo to a book
Goodreads will no longer support the creation of new quizzes, trivia, friend stories in the friend list, or photos to a book page effective July 5, 2022. These features will be removed from Goodreads on Sept. 1, 2022.

To learn more about these upcoming changes or for help downloading your data, please visit our help center.
