Calibre and saving

[Smoff]

HI,
Am I missing something? I've been trying to save the e.pub that I've edited a bit in Calibre. It's just a test. But I've saved all kind of different ways and none have accepted the edits I just made. I keep looking at my new saved versions in online epub viewers (I've tried different ones) and they are not showing any changes I've made.

What am I missing??

Thanks!

Are you by any chance looking for changes in your original file?

When you add a file to Calibre your original file is copied to the Calibre library, not moved.
When you edit a file in Calibre you are editing the copy in the library, not the original.

You need to export the book from Calibre before you send the file to these online viewers. Use the "Save to Disk" menu item to do that.

Oh I think I found the issue - I believe I had multiple versions open (not sure how that happened! Probably because I literally just started using the software without a lot of knowledge!) So I wasn't saving the right project! Thank you for responding and setting me to check things out further
