“In 2019, the central series was majorly revamped again, mostly in order to do away with the BeForever branding, and implementing several major changes in abridged versions. The most significant change is that many chapters--and whole storylines--are removed from several volumes, to condense the stories down. Due to this, all books show an "Abridged Edition" notation in the lower left corner of the back cover.

Addy and Kit's revised books were released in 2020 and Samantha's in 2021 and 2022. Addy's, Kit's, and Josefina's abridged volumes have been shown to be the least affected, retaining all major stories and plotlines while mostly removing side descriptions, short scenes, and extra events. 

• Much like the previous BeForever volumes, the newer books feature the Historical Character's name on the top just below the American Girl logo stripe, this time as a detailed character-specific logo with the year incorporated in a smaller font.

• Character colors have been adjusted again for some characters, as indicated on the spine. 

• The title of the book is on the cover and on the spine in a unique font face to relate back to the character's time period. This font—and the character's color—are used for chapter headings with the addition of new, unique dingbats on either side of the title and chapter name.

• Books have been retitled to include the character's name at the start. Some books were completely renamed to integrate the name.

• Volume indication is removed from the front cover and the books are numbered on the spine, in a top section with a style to invoke the era.

• Back covers have unique illustrations and contain prior blurbs, edited as needed. These are either contained in a character-appropriate framing or printed over a full illustration.

• Illustrations return for characters and Maryellen, Melody and Nanea receive them for the first time. Julie has several new large photo-realistic illustrations with older illustrations shrunk to vignettes; Kaya, Josefina, Addy, Rebecca, Kit, and Samantha return to their prior illustrations. Several images are photos edited to include BeForever-released outfits, especially concerning new meet outfits. For example, Addy is shown in her Beforever meet outfit on the pier in Philadelphia rather than her classic meet outfit. Not all illustrations from prior volumes are used.

• Family and Friends portraits return, with new ones created for those who did not have them prior. Some are modified.

• The front of the book includes a "snapshot" or two of the character's world, illustrated; some are taken from older books when available.

• Handwritten letters and sections that had been displayed in italics are now displayed in faux-handwriting fonts.

• Author information, dedications, and advisory board information (for characters developed with boards) are present inside the front flap. The back flap contains publication data, illustrator(s), copyright, and image credits.

• The back page of each volume shows all the characters available with new abridged style books, as well as their personal portraits and name logo.

• The ‘Inside [Historical Characters] World’ section, while similar to prior editions before BeForever, often includes much of the same text from those volumes with few to no expansions in text. Authentic images and items of the era, paintings--and photos when possible--are integrated throughout. The first page shows the title of the section with the character's portrait inside a colored box.” (American Girl Wiki, 2023)
