Publishing your online book is an important achievement, but your work does not necessarily end when the book becomes available to readers. Over time, information may change, errors may be discovered, new topics may become relevant, and readers may express needs that were not anticipated when the book was first created.
Maintaining an online book means keeping its content accurate, useful, accessible, and relevant. It also means being prepared to improve and develop it as circumstances and readers' needs change.
This module is intentionally concise. Rather than repeating the detailed instructions covered in previous modules, it highlights the essential principles and practical responsibilities involved in maintaining an online book. You can return to these sections whenever you need to review or improve your publication.
An online book should not be considered a finished product that never changes. It is a resource that can be maintained, updated, and developed over time.
- Updating Book Content
