Editing Your Content

Learn how to edit your tracks and collections after uploading them to BeatPass. Update metadata, replace audio, and manage your catalog.

After a beat or collection is live, BeatPass still lets you return and update the content. This guide covers the current producer-side editing behavior.

Editing a Track

To edit a beat:

1. Open the track editor

   Find the beat in your producer workspace and open its edit form.

2. Change the fields you need

   Update metadata, cover art, licensing, or audio as needed.

3. Save the changes

   BeatPass applies the update once the form validations pass.

All five track sections open by default on the edit page so you can scan the saved setup without repeatedly expanding panels. Collapse any section you do not need.

Track Fields You Can Usually Edit

Area	Current Examples
Basic details	Track name, description, credited artists, collection
Discovery metadata	Tags, genres
Music properties	Key, scale, BPM
Protection	Sample-safe status, AI use declaration, and audio fingerprint status
Artwork	Custom cover art or AI preset choice
Licensing	Model, exclusive price, exclusive config, subject to sale locks
Audio	Replace the uploaded audio file before an exclusive sale

Replacing Audio

If you need to update the audio file:

1. Open the track’s edit form
2. Click Replace audio in the floating action bar
3. Wait for BeatPass to process the new upload
4. Save once the track is ready

Replacing audio triggers a new fingerprint workflow for the updated file.

Replace audio is unavailable after an exclusive certificate is issued. Only cover art can be changed on a sold beat.

Declaring AI Use on Older Tracks

If a beat was uploaded before AI declarations were added, choose Human-made or AI-assisted in Protection & Verification before saving the producer edit. An AI-assisted declaration also requires the tool name, usage details, and commercial-rights confirmation.

Editing a Collection

Collections can also be edited after creation.

The current collection tools support changes to:

• Name
• Cover art
• Release date
• Artists
• Genres
• Tags
• Description
• Track order

You can also upload new beats into the collection or add existing tracks from your catalog.

Collection Track Management

Inside a collection, BeatPass currently supports:

• Upload beats
• Add existing tracks
• Edit a specific track
• Remove a track from the collection
• Reorder tracks

Removing a beat from a collection changes the grouping. It does not automatically mean the beat stops existing as a track in your catalog.

Licensing Locks You Should Expect

Some edits become limited after an exclusive sale.

Sold beats

Once a beat is sold exclusively, BeatPass locks the audio, metadata, licensing model, status, price, and sold terms. Only cover art remains editable. This protects the buyer’s certificate.

Standard licensing after a sale

BeatPass stops future standard licensing for beats that are sold exclusively, so you should not expect sold beats to behave like open catalog tracks.

If Changes Do Not Appear Immediately

If your edit saves but you do not see it everywhere right away:

1. Refresh the page
2. Wait a short moment for cached views to update
3. Re-open the track or collection to confirm the saved values

If the problem persists, use the troubleshooting guides or contact support.
