Can you change a Folio's orientation after it has been published?

I see how to change from single to dual orientation when creating a new Folio. Is there a way to change from dual orientation to Horizontal-only after a Folio has been published?

If not, and I need to re-create the Folio:

1. Can I give it the same name, publication date, and product id?

2. Will it replace the already approved Folio in the multi-issue App?

3. Will it need to get approved by Apple again?

No, you can't change the orientation setting for a folio. Unpublish (if it's published) and delete the folio. Then create the new folio and publish it using the same name, publication date, etc. It will replace the already approved folio in the multi-issue app. It doesn't need to be approved by Apple again. If you set up your folder structure properly, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

I tested your suggestion in Adobe Content Viewer, and it gives me two issues with the same name/date in the library rather than replacing the 1st one with the 2nd. Will that be different in the iTunes app or will readers need to archive the old one to make it disappear?
Thanks for the response!

That shouldn't happen in the Content Viewer. If you used the same metadata in the new folio that you used in the deleted folio, only the new folio should appear. If it's happening in the Content Viewer, it will likely happen in your viewer as well.

I'm using the same metadata. I tried it anyway, and as you said, it happens in the App as well. The old folio disappears once you manually archive it. Until then, there are two of the same folio in the Library.
