You still create the KDP account, answer Amazon's content and AI disclosure questions, upload the files, and order proofs. BookWizard prepares the package — it does not publish on your behalf. For rejection prevention, run Export Studio's checklist and review trim margins before you hit Upload. See the KDP checklist and publish-fast guide for the day-of upload sequence.
