Q:

App Store: is version metadata (screenshots, descriptions,...) lost when canceling a version release?

Current scenario

App V1 is live on the App Store, V2 is Pending Developer Release, V2.1.
We would like to avoid releasing V2 and upload a v2.1 with bug fixes and the same metadata as V2 (screenshots, descriptions,...).
To do so, and since the "Add version" button is disabled, we might have to click "Cancel this release" on v2.1.

Questions

Will we lose the metadata that were used for v2? Screenshots, descriptions, etc.
If so, is there a way to upload v2.1 without losing the metadata of v2 but without releasing it on the App Store?

It's not a big deal if we lose the metadata in any case: we will copy-paste everything. But if there is a simpler/smarted way to do this, interested to know it!

A:

We sacrificed ourselves for the greater good and took the risk of canceling the release (after copy-pasting everything just in case): we did not lose the metadata.
