Record identity, chapter coverage and scene anchors before moving to another authorised source, then verify and relocate without assuming automatic cross-source merging.

When a source stops working or you move to your own files, a matching title is not enough: edition and last-read scene still need confirmation. Create a manual source-transition map using authorised material, without assuming that identically named entries share identity or progress.

## Preserve anchors while the old entry remains visible

While available, record title, authorship or series details, language, edition, chapter and a recent distinctive scene with adjacent context. Keep bookmarks or short notes. If the source has already failed, recover only verifiable details from history and existing notes, marking uncertainty. Retain the old entry until the new position is established.

## Distinguish a source change from a temporary outage

Check whether the problem is network reachability, authentication, maintenance or one failed chapter before changing sources. Use established maintenance controls rather than importing many unfamiliar scripts. Select only authorised replacement files or services. An unresponsive source does not itself prove damaged shelf records, and avoiding an unnecessary transition prevents duplicate entries.

## Verify the replacement work and edition

Compare title, creator, cover, language, coverage and actual scenes. Remakes, extras and omnibuses can share parts of a title. Inspect the beginning and contents, then a scene near your old place. Treat the entry as a candidate until verified. Record differing chapter-number mappings instead of editing numbers to create an artificial visual match.

## Locate the position with both chapter and scene

Find the nearest chapter, locate the recorded scene, and inspect neighbouring pages to rule out flashbacks, recaps or reused illustrations. Serial and collected editions can split chapters differently. Read a short section to confirm continuity before saving the new bookmark. If uncertain, reread a little earlier rather than skipping an entire chapter to match an old percentage.

## Record the old and new identities

Keep an old-to-new mapping with source identity, chapters, verified scene and date. Bookmarks, favourites and update-following state may need separate setup using current controls. Test the new resume entry before removing the old favourite. The map needs no passwords or private parameters. Complete one work at a time to avoid mixing editions across several transitions.

## Verify offline needs on the new source

If you need offline reading, confirm that the new source permits downloads or that you have an appropriate local file. Old download records do not prove the new identity has a complete copy. Inspect beginning, transferred position and end offline through a local entry. Record streaming-only limits where relevant and retain a working old copy until the replacement is understood.

## Retain traceability when archiving the old entry

After several correct sessions in the new identity, decide how to hide, archive or remove the old entry using the current prompts. Keep useful history and the mapping within your backup plan. Edition differences such as missing extras can justify retaining another copy. The objective is a clear reading destination with traceable context, rather than declaring one source universally superior.

## Questions and completion criteria

Why does a matching title not resume automatically? Source identity and chapter structures can differ. Can you simply transfer the percentage? Match chapters and scenes instead. Finish with an authorised working source, verified edition, correct scene, a usable new reference and an explicit offline result or limitation. Keep the old records until the mapping is complete.
