Q: Why can't I create a new file from epub in an epub template on ibooks author?

I am trying to import an epub that I created on another platform into iBooks Author so I can edit it there and re-export as an epub. When I choose File>New file from epub, and am directed to choose a template, the epub templates are not available. Any ideas why? Any workarounds? I can't imagine why I can't create an epub from an imported epub.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

    I don't think iBA has the feature you want.  You have to start with an epub template and add things to it.

     

    You should use some other app to edit your original epub.  Apple doesn't make anything for this as far as I know.
