We’ve updated the Sales Analytics section under your PublishDrive dashboard. Expect easier navigation and management of your book sales performance. Here’s what to know –
There are 2 main sections to view which you can select from the top header:

- Preorder: page for tracking preorder book sales
About the Sales tab

View your sales performance by filtering to your liking. The default view is set to the last 7 days. Affecting the filters will reload the entire page.
Filters include: Date range, Sales type, Books, Series (hidden if there are none), Countries, Stores, and Book formats.

About the Preorder tab
This will look similar to the Sales tab, except you’ll find information about your preorder performance.
Estimated earnings are not shown here as the info can change depending on the final sales and other situations. Situations like certain stores not reporting any earnings for preorders or cancellations from customers.
