Bulk-update your book data

BiblioGenius can automatically fill in the missing data for your books, across your whole library in a single operation, instead of editing them one by one.

Run the bulk update

  1. On the dashboard, find the Library completeness card (it shows the percentage of complete books).
  2. Tap the card to open the Complete my library screen.
  3. Tap Complete the empty fields.
  4. BiblioGenius searches for the missing information and fills in, for each affected book: the summary, publisher, page count, publication year and cover image.
  5. Progress is shown as "X of Y books". You can Resume an interrupted search, Run it again, or Discard it.

Track and filter

  • The To complete tab lists books with missing data; the Recent tab shows the ones that were just completed.
  • Filters let you target a specific missing field, or isolate books without an ISBN.

Undo a change

Afterwards, you can undo the fill per book, or per field. Values you entered yourself are protected: they are never overwritten or reverted by mistake.

Good to know

  • The update only applies to books you own.
  • An ISBN is required to look up the data: books without an ISBN are flagged and skipped. Add an ISBN from the book's page to make them eligible.
  • If no source provides the information, the field stays empty; you can then fill it in manually from the book's page.
