correct a typo in a plot summary

A small typo in the plot summary of my project was pointed out to me. I see how to edit cast/crew, but I don't see an edit button for the plot summary. This is my project, my post, so I'm not trying to change someone else's work. How can I do this?

Sarah: Go to the page for your film and click "Edit page".

On the next screen, you will see a list of all the categories of data that can be edited. In the Plot & Quotes section of the page, you will see "Plot Outlines" and "Plot Summaries" listed (these are two different categories, based on length). On the line for the appropriate category, select "Correct / Delete", then scroll down and click "Continue". 

On the next screen, you will be able to select "Correct" for the appropriate item that needs correcting, and the rest should be self-explanatory from there.

Good luck!

Got in there and did all of that, but it still won't let me delete, backspace, type over, or otherwise make the one correction to the text. Super frustrating, and it should be such a simple fix!!! IMDb - can you help?

Hi @producerwritersarah​ -

To clarify did you submit the correction and it was declined?  If so can you post the related 18-digit submission reference number here for our staff to take a look?

Otherwise, if you are unable to make the correction, can you post the link to the IMDb title page and confirm the exact typo?

The submission wasn't declined; I'm simply unable to make the correction. I can highlight the offending word, but it won't let me delete or overwrite. The typo is so little: it says "St. Jone's Ditch" when it should be "St. Jones' Ditch". Here's the link:

Hi @producerwritersarah​ -

Thanks for confirming, the correction has been approved and the change should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

At least I didn’t have issues with this title. I could choose ”Plot Summaries” (btw, this film doesn’t have a ”Plot Outline”) and ”correct”.
