Yes you can do this, but not actually make the edits on KDP. Also please see this article on updating the fill in fields on your book. [KDP PUBLISHING] Can You Edit the Title of Your Book, Author Name or Other Information on KDP Once it Has Been Approved?

Yes you can do this easily. Keep in mind a couple of things, Amazon will review your book again and changes should not be a radical change from what you previously had. Also, don't unpublish, upload updated cover and or interior, then click publish again, KDP does not like books once live, being unpublished and then published again. Also don't unpublish and then create a new book and then publish it.

Login to Book Bolt and into the studio and once you have edited your cover or your interior in Book Bolt and have your PDF(s) downloaded, login to your Amazon KDP account.

Go to your bookshelf and find the book you want to update and click on the ellipsis (...) button and choose "Edit Print Book Content".

Then click "Upload your cover file" and upload your cover PDF. (If you are only making changes to the interior, then you do not need to upload the cover again).

Click on save and continue on bottom right, then it will take you to step 3 and do the same on that page.

You will have to wait for Amazon KDP to approve the changes, in the meantime your older version of your book will continue being listed and sold on Amazon.

Once approved your new version will be sold.

If you have A+ Content on your book you just edited, don't forget to update it as well to reflect any changes you made.
