I am currently tying to update my prices at Lulu. The first one I did I clicked the Lulu created Draft. Why they have created a draft just to update prices I have no idea. Within that tool are the pricing options, once you can find them. Previously you could create one price and it would convert them to the various currencies. If you wanted to increase it you did it by a percentage to the base price. Now it seems you have to adjust every individual price. Once I had sorted that out I clicked Done, and it said "... taking longer than expected ..."
When I went back to my Project list it was asking me to buy a Proof! What? Just because I adjusted the pricing?!
The next one I clicked on the finished Project, ignoring the Draft. This one kept telling me Incomplete, adjust the items with a green tick. But there's nothing to change at those other ticks!
Why have they made it so complex? Everything, apart from the actual creation and Revising of the book itself, used to be on the first page when clicking a Project. Adjust the things on that page. Save. Done.
There was no need to change how it used to be.
It's a shame that Withdrawing or Retiring, does not remove them from circulation. They just get listed as No Longer Available everywhere. Otherwise I would move them all to KDP. I may even do so and just change the covers. It's not unusual for books to have alternate covers. Some do it with every large reprint.
