Editor Hub
Two ways to edit comic metadata — pick the tool that fits your workflow.
Which editor do I need?
Both editors write to the exact same ComicInfo.xml file embedded inside comic CBZ archives and share enforced Genre, Format, and Age Rating lists. What differs is scope and workflow: the Basic Editor is for a single issue that's already in your library, opened straight from that issue's page. The Full Editor covers everything else — finding and tagging data for one file or many, before or after they've been scanned in. It's built to load a whole batch, step through each file one by one, and stamp a value from one file (a genre, say) across every other file in the loaded set.
| Feature | Basic Editor | Full Editor |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Scope | Single issue metadata edit | Batch tagging (entire folders or selection) |
| Access Point | Issue Detail page (Edit XML) |
Admin → Open Editor or Selection Bar |
| Pre-Library Staging | No (requires library item) | Yes (edits files before scanning) |

| Batch Utilities | N/A | Auto-increment numbers & "Apply to All" fields |
| Page Viewer | Cover preview | 4-column layout with full zoom/pan page viewer |
Basic Editor →
A quick, single-issue modal. Open it straight from any issue's detail page when you want to tweak an issue title, summary, format, genre tags, or creator credits. Saves asynchronously in the background while you keep browsing.
Full Editor →
A dense 4-column batch tagging workspace for pre-library staging or batch retagging. Features folder browsing, natural file sorting, auto-incrementing issue numbers, selective field stamping, ComicVine automated lookups, and GoodReads extension integration.
