Change a book's status (e.g., To Read, Finished)
Organizing your library is easy with reading statuses. You can categorize books as 'To Read,' 'Currently Reading,' or 'Finished' to keep your digital bookshelf tidy and track your reading journey. This status determines where the book appears on your main library screen.
How to Change a Book's Reading Status
You can update a book's status at any time from its individual settings page. Follow these steps to make a change:
- From your library, tap on the book you wish to update to open its progress screen.
- Tap the settings icon (shaped like a gear) in the top-right corner of the screen.
- On the Book Settings page, tap the Reading Status row.
- Select the new status from the menu that appears. The available statuses are 'To Read', 'Currently Reading', 'Finished', and 'Did Not Finish'.
- Tap the checkmark icon in the top-right corner to confirm and save your changes.
Tips for Managing Statuses
Regularly updating your book statuses helps keep your library organized. When you finish a book, changing its status to 'Finished' moves it out of your active reading list, making it easier to see what you've accomplished and what's next on your list.
