Request to Merge ARC Edition with Final Published Edition

Editions set to combine. If it doesn't work after a while, you can try it yourself. Then, you can set the primary edition.
Hello, I believe I have combined my editions so that the hardcover edition now appears as the primary edition with the reviews; however, is there a way to hide the ARC listing from searches? If I Google my title, the ARC edition still appears as the top search result.
Thanks
We keep all published editions of a work. We cannot do anything about Google results, but this sort of change would not be instantaneous everywhere. It may sort itself out over time.
I hope you're having a fabulous day! I would like to request a merge for my book so that all ratings and reviews from the ARC edition are carried over to the final published edition.
ARC Edition:

Final Edition:

The ARC was a temporary pre-release version with a placeholder cover and text. The final edition (with updated cover, ISBN, and publication date of October 1, 2025) is the definitive version I’d like displayed as the primary edition.
Could you please merge the ARC into the final edition so all ratings and reviews remain intact? Thank you so much for your help in keeping the book data clean and accurate!
Thank you,
Aurora Sandelands
