YouTube - Yes, You CAN Change Things After Uploading
💥A lot of creators think once a video is uploaded, everything is locked forever. That is not true. There are many things you can change later, and some of those changes can actually help your video get more views.
Here is what you need to know.
💥 Things You CAN Change Anytime
  • Thumbnails
  • Titles
  • Descriptions
  • Tags
  • End screens
  • Cards
  • Chapters
  • Playlist placement
These changes do not hurt your video. In many cases, they can help it.
💥 Why Changing Thumbnails Helps
  • A new thumbnail can increase your click through rate
  • A stronger click through rate tells the algorithm people prefer your video
  • That can push your video to more viewers
  • Many creators get a big jump in views after replacing a weak thumbnail
💥 What You Do NOT Lose
  • You do not lose your views
  • You do not lose your watch time
  • You do not lose your comments
  • You do not lose your ranking
  • You do not lose your audience retention data
Your video keeps all of its history.
💥 What You SHOULD Avoid
  • Do not change thumbnails every hour
  • Do not change titles every day
  • Make strong changes, then give YouTube time to read the data
💥 The Smart Way To Use This
  • If a video has low views and low click through rate, try a new thumbnail
  • If a title is confusing, rewrite it to be clearer
  • If your description has no keywords, fix it
  • If the video is in the wrong playlist, move it
💥You are not stuck. You can keep improving your video even after it is uploaded. This is how you give your content a second chance.
