# Book Settings
The Book Settings page is where you can update the meta data for your book. For Collaborative Projects, this page is titled Project Settings and for Ebook Bundles the title is Bundle Settings.
The Book Settings page is divided into four sections:
Cannot Edit?
If the book is currently publishing, you cannot make changes to the book's settings. Also, if the book is an Ebook Bundle or Collaborative Project, you may not have permissions to edit the settings. If you are unable to edit the settings you will see a warning at the top of the *Book Settings page explaining this.

A Note About Categories
When you go to publish your book, you can also specify the exact retailer category you want the book to appear under. It is recommended you let PubShare automatically find the closest category based on your PubShare categories and keywords. But, you do have the option to override this for the retailer if you wish to do so.
