Editing Episode Details
Update an episode's title, description, and cover art. Drafts auto-save inline; published and scheduled episodes use a dialog.
How you edit an episode's details depends on its status. Draft episodes edit inline with auto-save. Published and scheduled episodes edit through a dialog with a Confirm button.
Editing a Draft Episode
Open the draft from your podcast's episode list (click the episode title) to enter the episode workspace. It has two tabs at the top: Episode Details and Script Editor. Click the Episode Details tab to see the editable title, description, and cover art.
If you can't find where to change the title, make sure you're on the Episode Details tab (not Script Editor). The title lives at the top of that tab.
- Title: Click the inline title field at the top and type. Updates save automatically.
- Description: A rich text editor below the title that supports bold, italics, and other formatting. Click in and edit. Updates save automatically.
- Cover art: Click the thumbnail in the top-left corner to upload or generate new cover art. If none is set, the podcast's cover art is used as a fallback on the episode page.
All draft changes save immediately as you type or upload. There is no separate save button.
If Include show notes was on for this episode, a Show Notes list of source links appears at the end of the description. It's regular description text, so you can edit or delete it here like anything else. See Show Notes.
Editing a Published or Scheduled Episode
Once an episode is published or scheduled, the inline tabs are gone. Open the episode's details page and click Edit Episode Details (the button at the top, or Edit Episode Details from the episode dropdown). This opens a dialog with:
- Title and Description (rich text) fields.
- Cover art picker.
- Explicit content toggle. Jellypod sets this automatically from a transcript scan when the episode publishes; use the toggle to override it if the rating is wrong. See Your RSS Feed.
- Season field, if the podcast has at least one season. See Podcast Seasons.
- Published On date field (published episodes only). For scheduled episodes this field is hidden; change the publish time with Edit Schedule instead.
Make your changes and click Confirm to apply them. These edits do not auto-save. To change the episode's audio or script, unpublish it first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do draft edits need a save button?
No. On a draft, the title, description, and cover art on the Episode Details tab save automatically as you type or upload.
How do I edit a published episode's title?
Open the episode's details page and click Edit Episode Details (the button at the top, or the same item in the episode dropdown). Change the title in the dialog and click Confirm. Published edits use this dialog, not inline auto-save.
Can each episode have its own cover art?
Yes. Set episode-specific cover art from the Episode Details tab on a draft, or the cover art picker in the Edit Episode Details dialog once published. If you don't set one, the podcast's cover art is used as a fallback.
Why is the Explicit content toggle already on or off when I open the dialog?
Jellypod scans the episode's transcript when it publishes and sets the toggle automatically. Flip it manually if the rating is wrong, but note that re-publishing the episode re-scans it and can overwrite a manual override.
