      I have absolutely no idea how to find this. However, I have found a workaround for the issue by resubmitting the cover_image. I would point out that this was incredibly hard to find out how to do as there are absolutely no examples of doing this. I had to work this out using trial and error. Documentation is sorely lacking. For example, I have just spent five minutes trying to find out how find out what version we are using. Sorry, I'm a little frustrated with how hard it is find out things about this product.
