If you are sending a book to a reviewer, you might like to mark it as a review copy, perhaps by a paragraph at the start of every chapter and in the title page. But you also want to be able to create regular versions of the ebook.
The best way to do this is to use conditional content and an extra configuration that you will use for compiling the review copy. There are several ways to do it, and here is possibly the simplest:
Create a new paragraph style, say 'Review Text'. You can base it on a style such as 'Normal' or 'Body Text'.
Add paragraphs with the text you want to appear in the review copy, say REVIEW COPY, and apply the 'Review Text' style to each.
Go to the configurations page in the Project Properties (e.g. by clicking Edit next to the current configuration) and click "+" to add a new configuration. You can base it on an existing configuration, for example "Epub", or create a new configuration with the default settings for a given format. Let's say you call this configuration 'Review Epub'.
Set the Book file name option to a unique name, such as %FILENAME%_Review.
Edit all your other configurations and set the option Paragraphs to exclude to 'Review Text'.
Click OK in the Project Properties dialog.
Now you can select your new configuration, 'Review Epub', and click Compile. This will generate a review copy with the text you added. When compiling with any other configuration, the review text will be omitted.
Similarly, you can add a new review configuration for Kindle, or any other platforms or formats you are targeting.
