You can edit your release after it's live. Go to your album page in DistroKid, click "Edit Release," make your changes, and hit "Submit Edit Request" at the bottom.

Most services process edits within a few days, but it can take up to 1-2 weeks for changes to show up everywhere.

Important: Stores don't let you upload a release, delete it, and re-upload it with different metadata (like a new artist name or title). It's always better to submit an edit while your release is still live.

What You Can Edit

The exact edits available depend on your release and plan level, but here's what's possible:

• Swap an audio file (Ultimate plan only, at https://distrokid.com/audioswap. More info here.)
• Artist/band name (more info)
• Collaborators (add or remove, at the album or track level)
• Album title
• Record label
• Release date
• Pre-order status and start date
• Album artwork
• Song titles
• Song version info
• Explicit lyrics tagging
• Preview clip start time
• Delete the release from stores

Need to remove your release from a specific store, remove it from certain countries, or change the genre? Contact our support team and we'll help.

What You Can't Edit

These can't be changed through the edit page:

• Track order/listing
• Release language
• Album Extras (can't be removed)
• Genres
• ISRCs

To change any of those, you'll need to delete your release and re-upload a corrected version. More on that here.

How Long Does It Take?

Most services handle edit requests within a few days. For changes to show up everywhere, expect 1-2 weeks.

The whole process from start to finish usually takes 1-3 weeks. Artist name rebrands are the exception. Those can take up to several months.

Once a request is submitted, we can't speed it up or cancel it. You also can't submit another edit until the current one is approved.
