re-reading an other edition: How do I do that?

[J_BlueFlower]

What are the steps to mark another edition as 'currently reading' without changing the status of my first read?
I am rereading Dune but this time in English. How do I do that?

I found this answer in the help, but it doesn’t work:

• Go to whatever book you want to work with
• Go to the specific edition you want
• Scroll down to Ratings & Reviews. It'll show you the old edition that you previously read.
• Click the right arrow button. It'll show you a bit that says "Review this edition". Click the write a review button there.
• It will take you to the review page for the specific edition you're on and not the previous edition. There's a little section that says "Bookshelves/tags" and you can shelve the new edition from there.

Doing this changes the status of the previously read book to currently rereading and leaves me with a seemingly edition-less read with the old finish date.

I also found this:

But it also doesn’t work: The review-botton does nothing.

How do I do it?

I have had the same problem with reading different translations of classics. Right now my books just say read more than once. I’ll be interested in suggested solution.

Meanwhile I got a reply from support that guides me to click the inactive review-botton mentioned in the question. No luck.

I happened to see this post go by in a "groups digest" e-mail, and have the answer! Even if it's too late for the book J_Blueflower was reading, it may be helpful in the future. This is courtesy of my Goodreads friend Becky, who I asked the same question of a few days ago:

Here's how:
1) Go to the book page of the edition you want to add
2) Scroll down until you see your "My Review" section. There SHOULD be arrows in the top right corner of that section, above the date.
3) Click on the > to scroll the section to the right, which should be a "Review this edition" option.
4) Click "Write a review" and adjust the shelves to Currently Reading, or whatever you choose.

No, it still does not work: I just tried again. In step 4) "Click "Write a review" ". You can click all you like. It does nothing.

Or did it work for you? Maybe it is that particular book?
