Metadata corrections

You can resolve mistakes while we review an application. After approval, the public SPSN page is locked.

Before approval

Check your application carefully before paying. While we review it, we may send you a question through Messages and notes and allow you to correct the information before we make a decision.

After approval

The approved publication details form a permanent historical record and cannot be edited from your account. Use Messages and notes or Support to tell us about a concern. We will decide whether the page is still accurate or the SPSN should be withdrawn.

Changes that need a new SPSN

A different title, publisher, format, translation or major new edition requires withdrawal and a new application. An unchanged reprint or a small typing correction does not require a new number.
