Series

Series allows you to organize your book series or publications.

For example, you could choose to create series for a franchise as a whole, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, and including all editions published inside it, or creating a series for each edition, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion [Collector's Edition].

For example, you could choose to group your books by its type, by creating collections such as Manga, Light novels, or Comics; although this is just a suggestion.

A book can only be part of a single series, so choose wisely what criteria you will be using to create your library series.

If you also want to categorize a book by multiple criteria, Tags are meant for this usage.

Edit a series

To edit a series, open the series page by clicking on the three dots button in the series table and then click on Edit. Similar to the creation, you will be asked to edit the same information in the same form. When you're done, click on Save to finish the process.

Delete a series

To delete a series, open the series page by clicking on the three dots button in the series table and then click on Delete.

INFO

Deleting a series will not delete the books inside it. The books that were part of it will have the series field marked as Unknown.

This is by design, since there's cases where books doesn't have a series or don't need to be grouped inside one, such as one-shot manga.
