Topic: Posting a rewritten chapter

Hello everyone. I've posted the first two chapters of my novel and received lots of feedback especially on chapter 1. I've since substantially rewritten that chapter (not just minor tweaks) and would like to get feedback on the new version, befoe going on to sequentially publish the rest of the first 18,500 words.

What's the best approach to this? Do I need to actually delete my original chapter 1 and repost? Or am I missing a 'post 2nd draft' button?

Many thanks.

Re: Posting a rewritten chapter

Hi Martin. You can edit over existing chapters using the Edit button, but that won't notify everyone that there's a new chapter. Instead, use the Add Chapter button. Then, instead of given a new chapter number, use the previous chapter number and change the version number to two. Once you hit the publish tab in the Add Chapter wizard, go ahead and publish the new chapter AND make the old chapter inactive. Making it inactive ensures that only you can see it, and it retains all of the old reviews on that chapter, which also only you can see. If you're totally done with the old chapter, then you can delete it, which also deletes the reviews associated with that chapter. If you don't make the old chapter inactive, nor delete it, then both chapters will appear once you publish

Clear as mud? I hope I got it right.

Dirk
