Leave the required back-cover barcode area clear or follow KDP's barcode workflow. Do not place essential text or imagery beneath it. Download a new retailer template after the interior is final. Compare the PDF page dimensions, bleed, folds, safe areas, barcode zone, and spine text against that template before upload.
