In https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-month-in-review-june-2021, the article stated:

You can now edit the Details of off-site games in your Library Collections.

My question is: how does one do that?

Well, I have always just input my OTB games in the analysis, then click the details tab and add names, dates, elo, etc for black and white. Run analysis and save it and now i can go look at it when I feel like it

Right.  But if you keep it in a library, then what?

My current awkward procedure -- if I want to edit a game in my library -- is:

  1. bring up the game into analysis make edits/changes -- and save it
  2. delete the game from the library (because it appears you can't put a game you already have into the library, even if there are changes)
  3. then re-add it to the library (which screws up the order, since you can't alter the order of the games that appear in the library

It'd be great if we could edit games *within* the library to avoid the three step process.

And so, my question is: what's changed?  What can I do know in the library that I couldn't do before, and how do I do it?

I just posted in https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/edit-details-in-library-collections

Old thread I know but in case anyone else gets here the same way I did - if you make changes to the Details you can go back to the Analysis tab and click Save there.

This was really helpful, thanks. I found the save button after scrolling to the bottom of the move list... very hidden and not easy to find.

How can I change the point of view on a game in my library if that makes sense? It automatically sets my point of view as white's perspective and whenever I reopen the game it sets it back to white's perspective even if I changed it to black's perspective... Can I make a permanent solution in the details tab or something? Like if I just played a game and add it to my library it's going to be in white's perspective even if I played as black and I know I can just flip the board but I want to study my games and not have to press the flip button every single time. It would be a big help, thank you

But, as pointed out earlier, the Save feature doesn't change the game in the library, you have to do what BossBlunder said, delete and resave. Given that Chess.com is a paid site, they leave a lot of bugs for years without correcting.

It does change it in the library for me? Make changes to the game details, scroll down to the bottom of the move list when in the Analysis tab and click Save. All the details appear everywhere for me after that is done.

Missed this because I was testing with a single line comment, just to see if I could save it.. didn’t get the option to save because I needed to click off of the last comment to another move for it to register as a change, then the option to save became available
