OverDrive titles can be problematic when uploading to Converter Plus. This page goes over the current workflow with how to work around this issue, and will be updated as this feature is developed.

• Select the title from the dropdown menu labelled: Project
• Ensure "Use OverDrive Metadata" is selected. This is located directly below the Project menu

Here is a video tutorial walking you through the entire process.

You can now start working on the project. See Return to Renaming and Reordering Tracks for further instructions.

If you already have the project uploaded to your profile with the OverDrive Metadata, but you no longer want to use the OverDrive Metadata, you have to options to reset the project.

First option is to Remove the Project and Add it again:

• Remove Project by following the directions on the Remove Project Wiki page
• Upload or Sideload the project again
• Ensure the Use OverDrive Metadata is not selected. This is located directly below the Project menu
• Select Import button
• The title will start importing
• Once it is imported you will be taken to the main project page.

The second option is to reimport the project:

• Do not remove the book
• Navigate to Add a Book
• Select the title from the dropdown menu labelled: Project
• Ensure the Use OverDrive Metadata is not selected. This is located directly below the Project menu
• Select Import button
• The title will start importing
• Once it is imported you will be taken to the main project page.

Please note, this is a hard reset on the project and anything you have done up to this point on this project will be erased and you will have to start from the beginning again.

Here is a video walking you through both options.
