Lobstergirl I have never understood: what is the difference between the edits on the left, and the edits in the skinny column on the right?

Also it is disturbing how inaccurate the log looks. I just opened this book record and it had a one or two sentence description which was utterly inadequate - something like "this is the first book in the blah blah series." Then over on the right I noticed there existed a whole other long description. So I copied and pasted that description into the proper place, where it now sits.

But the log still looks like I replace the two-sentence description with nothing.

The left has edition-by-edition edits (either for all editions or just the one, depending how you have toggled it). The right-hand has edits to the work. All changes to the default description will show up there, as will first-pub date for the work, etc.

Scott | 18305 comments I think the edits on the right are for the entire work, not any specific edition.

The log is very confusing, though. I wish cover art changes showed before and after. I often can't tell whether I am reverting or correcting the right change and it becomes trial and error.

Lobstergirl Oh, okay. I probably had left it toggled to all editions because there was only one edition. Normally I am looking at the one edition toggle.

Lobstergirl Although my point still stands that the log seems to assert things that did not happen!

The log also assigns ISBN changes to librarians instead of scripts! So many times I have found out that it is incorrect, it is really untrustworthy.
