Edit metadata

After uploading an ePub file for Revel or eText 2.0 into Golden Gate, you can edit the metadata such as the title, author, and description. Some fields may be already populated as the information is taken from the opf file in the ePub package. It is important to note that even though the metadata is updated in Golden Gate, it does not automatically update the original ePub you ingested.
