Quick answer: Yes. You can edit an Amazon Influencer video after you have already uploaded it, through My Storefront, then Manage Content, then Video, then select the video. The part almost nobody mentions: an edited video goes back through Amazon’s moderation review before it is live again. It does not just quietly update in place.
The exact click path to edit a live video
In Creator Hub, go to My Storefront, then Manage Content, then Video. Find the video you already uploaded and select it. From there you can swap the file, change the tagged product, or update other details on that listing. This is confirmed firsthand from actually doing it, and it lines up with what other creator guides describe for the same flow.
The catch: an edit sends it back through review
This is the part that trips people up. Editing an already-live video is not a silent update. Submitting a changed video, whether it is a new cut of the footage or just a swapped tag, puts it back into the same moderation queue every new upload goes through. Your video is not guaranteed to stay live and visible while that re-review runs, and it is not guaranteed to come back with the same status it had before.
In practice this means an edit is a real decision, not a quick tweak. If the video is working and getting views, weigh that against whatever you are fixing before you touch it.
Why people actually edit a live video
The common reasons:
- The video is tagged to the wrong ASIN or variant, so it is not earning on the product you meant.
- A disclosure or FTC line is missing or worded wrong and you want it fixed before it becomes a bigger problem.
- You caught something in the footage after publishing (a background detail, a claim you should not have made) that you want out immediately.
- You have a better cut of the same review and want to replace the weaker one.
The first two are worth an edit almost every time. The third, catching something like personal information in frame, is also worth fixing fast rather than hoping nobody notices. The fourth is a judgment call, since it resets your review clock for a video that was already approved and live.
How long the re-review actually takes
Amazon does not publish a fixed turnaround time for moderation review, first upload or re-review after an edit. Creator-reported timing varies, sometimes same day, sometimes longer, and nothing here should be read as a guaranteed number. Plan around the video being in limbo for a stretch rather than assuming it snaps back instantly.
What not to do
Do not resubmit the same edit repeatedly hoping a second or third attempt clears faster, that just adds more review cycles without fixing the underlying issue. And when in doubt about whether something needs an edit versus a brand new upload, an edit is usually the right move if you are fixing the same core video. Upload a genuinely new video instead if you are changing the actual content enough that it is not really the same review anymore.
A quick pre-edit checklist
Before you submit an edit, run through this so you are not sending it back into review twice:
- Confirm the exact ASIN or variant tag is correct this time, see the product variation rules if you are unsure which ASIN to tag.
- Re-check the video against the full upload checklist, not just the one thing you meant to fix.
- Scan the footage one more time for anything that could trip a rejection, especially personal information in the background.
- Make sure the fix is actually applied to the file you are uploading, not an older export.
Getting it right the first edit saves you a second trip through moderation. This is also where ReviewCut is genuinely useful before you ever hit submit: it cuts dead air and filler, picks your best take, adds captions, and burns in the disclosure automatically, so the fix you are making is the only thing left for Amazon to review. Your first finished review video is free, no card required, after that it is Creator at $19/mo or $190/yr, or Pro at $49/mo or $490/yr for more scans and revisions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit an Amazon Influencer video after it is already live?
Yes. Go to My Storefront, then Manage Content, then Video, then select the video you want to change.
Does editing a live video put it back through moderation?
Yes. An edited or resubmitted video goes back through the same review process as a brand new upload before it is live again.
Does Amazon say how long the re-review takes?
No exact turnaround time is published. Creator-reported experiences vary, so treat any specific number you see elsewhere as unconfirmed.
Should I edit a video or just upload a new one?
If you are fixing the same core video, an edit is usually right. If the content is changing enough that it is basically a different review, upload it as new instead.
