In part 1 of this series, you learned how to create a file in InDesign that successfully exports to a format eBook readers can display. But after exporting an EPUB file from InDesign, it’s sometimes necessary to modify it. For instance, you might want to insert a forced page break, add metadata to the file, or change table formatting.
In this article, I’ll walk you through the process of opening an EPUB file, and I’ll explain how the file’s components work. You’ll learn how to make common edits, and I’ll direct you to some tools you can use to validate an EPUB file after you’ve made significant changes to it.
