Leave Replace Protected Fields off if you want to keep changes you made yourself.
Fix a Wrong Match
During a scrape, change the search title if Cocoon finds the wrong game. For one image, use Edit Game Artwork instead of scraping everything again.
Clean filenames give better results. Multi-disc lists such as .m3u and supported game folders are treated as one game.
If a RetroAchievements match is wrong, use Edit Game → RetroAchievements Game.
