How to add a sequel on KDP?

[Gregg Bell]

I uploaded my sequel paperback mss to KDP. It seems there are two different ways to add it as a sequel. 1) on the Paperback Details page is a button saying: "Add to Series." Then that leads to a "Select Series" button and I choose my legal thriller series. But there's also an info thing saying I can add the sequel later by going to the Bookshelf clicking on the "Create" button and then "Create Series Page." So like do both? The "Create Series Page" is going to be its own page? (These choices were not available doing my last series.) Thanks.

Create series page is ONLY for creating a new series.

For sequels, you have to select an existing series name, select if a core or non-core book, and then check it gives it the correct book number before accepting it.

Whatever you were looking at, either it's worded badly or you misread it.

The only time you'd create a series on a book 2 is if you didn't do it with book 1. If book 1 was released as a stand alone, you'd need to create the series with book 2.

Thanks a lot, Timothy.
