Edit or rename a library

Effect on subdomain, custom domain, and redirects.

Change a library's name, subdomain, or other top-level settings.

Where

Super-admin → Libraries → click a library → Settings

What you can edit

  • Library name
  • Subdomain (slug)
  • Custom domain
  • Plan
  • Subscription status
  • Trial end date

Renaming the library

Just edit the name field. Takes effect immediately on the patron-facing site and emails.

Changing the subdomain

  • Edit the slug
  • The new subdomain is active immediately
  • The old subdomain stops working (no auto-redirect by default)
  • All patron bookmarks need updating

If you need a redirect from the old subdomain, email hello@tryshelfwise.com — we can set one up for 30 days.

Changing the plan

  • Pick the new plan
  • Charge difference is handled immediately by Stripe
  • Patron count and book count are validated against new plan limits

Changing subscription status

  • Trialing → Active: starts billing immediately
  • Active → Cancelled: schedules cancellation at end of period
  • Any → Expired: triggers the paywall

Audit log

Every change is logged. Super-admin → Activity Log shows all super-admin actions.
