Chapter titles and chapter artwork can be added or changed, however you must send all chapters on redelivery, not just the ones being updated. Two examples appear below: one where the previously-delivered artwork was incorrect, and the other that had a missing title locale.
Note: You can also send chapters with an asset-only update. See Film Asset-Only Update with Chapters.
In the following example, the second chapter was originally sent with an incorrect timecode for the artwork. Even though the error affects only one chapter, all chapters must be redelivered. Portions of the XML have been omitted for the sake of brevity.
