Can I Edit My ISBN Once I Have Added a Title?
Find out how to request an ISBN change for an existing Bookvault title, when an ISBN can be updated, and when it may be too late to make a change.
Once you've added a title to Bookvault, you can't edit the ISBN yourself through the Bookvault portal.
If you need to change an ISBN, please raise a support ticket or contact our team at customers@bookvault.app.
When contacting us, please provide:
- The current ISBN on your title
- The new ISBN you'd like it changed to
Our team can then look into making the change for you.
Can I change an incorrect ISBN?
If you've entered the wrong ISBN, we may be able to update it for you, provided there isn't a live order in production and the title hasn't already progressed too far through distribution.
Can I replace a Bookvault dummy ISBN with my own ISBN?
Yes. If you originally used a Bookvault dummy ISBN and now want to replace it with your own ISBN, contact us and we can look into changing it for you.
Can I change from a dummy ISBN to a Bookvault ISBN?
If you originally created your title using a dummy ISBN and now want a real ISBN from Bookvault, you'll need to add a new title and request it as a Bookvault Publishing Project.
When can't my ISBN be changed?
We can't guarantee that an ISBN can be changed if:
- There is a live order in production
- Distribution details have already been submitted
- The book has already been listed through bookshops or retailers
- Sales have already been made through the retail network
If you're unsure whether your ISBN can still be changed, raise a support request and our team can check the title for you.
