Forthcoming books can now switch to Active automatically

Registered your book as Forthcoming? You can now let the portal switch it to Active record on your publication date and send the update to Bowker for you. It's optional, so leave the box unticked if you'd rather do it yourself.

Here's how to do it:

You'll find the new checkbox in the Publication & Pricing step when adding a book, or by clicking the pencil next to Title Status on an existing book. Choose Forthcoming and a future publication date, then tick "Switch to Active record on publication".
