Move progress/rating/review//notes to different book
Aug 11, 2026
If I search for "The Algebraist" there are 10+ entries in Hardcover, all likely the same book. Not different editions, different entries for the same book. I accidentally logged my reading progress, rating, and review on one with hardly any other readers. However, there's another book with 100+ readers. How can I move my data to that entry everyone else is using? I've got a reading library of 500+ books, plus am sure this will happen more in the future. I wish I could look at my data on a book and have a "move to book" option that would let me select a different book to move my data to.

Thank you for that response, I did not know about that function and am trying it! I gather that comes to you (or someone) for review. Having a self-initiated "Move my data" which only affects my own data might allow users to clean up duplicates without needing a separate review, which in turn might allow for a purely crowd-sourced way to clean the overall library.
Dan Butterfield It goes to the team librarian queue now , unless it has no readers but it gets reviewed in a day or two. If you are a librarian it actually merges duplicates upto 5 readers or so without review.
If they are from the same author and you have verified that info, you can request a merge using the flag button and it will move it to the main entry.
