If the option is set to Manual management, shelves will NEVER be removed.Ĭhanging Book Titles to include Series Info From my experience, I have seen the easiest option to be Automatic management. As can be seen from the descriptions, for full functionality of the Kobo driver, set the Metadata management to either Only on send or Automatic management.Automatic management: Calibre automatically keeps metadata on the device in sync with the calibre library, on every connect.Only on send: Calibre updates metadata and adds/removes collections for a book only when it is sent to the device.With this option, calibre will never remove a collection. Manual management: Calibre updates the metadata and adds collections only when a book is sent.The Metadata management selection has three options.Preferences | Import/Export | Sending books to devices.This also affects when the shelves are managed on the Kobo.
