Hi,

I'm trying to understand the way the book metadata works and hoping someone can help.

Referring to the book's Edit book metadata tab:

- What do the numbers in the curved check boxes mean?

- What about the numbers in parentheses?

These are numbers that surround question answers.

- Is there a way to add to responses without wiping out one's previous responses?

It's hard going when you've entered 20 or so subjects and then want to add an extra one and have it wipe the rest.

- How exactly does the metadata contribute to the categorization of the books?
