'''IMPORTANT''': Even if a group releases two files of the same episode, it does not automatically mean that the first has to be marked ''v1'' and the second has to be marked ''v2''. There are reasons other than error correction to do release multiple files for a given episode, such as: different source (DTV/DVD), different sub languages, dual audio vs single audio releases, high and low quality versions, etc. | '''IMPORTANT''': Even if a group releases two files of the same episode, it does not automatically mean that the first has to be marked ''v1'' and the second has to be marked ''v2''.

# Example, [Ohys-Raws] released three 720p HDTV rips for an entire 12 episode series: set 1 of rips using the TBS HDTV source, set 2 using the Tokyo MX source, and set 3 using the AT-X source, for a total of 12 × 3 = 36 HDTV 720p files released. All 3 source-based releases are v1 files, they are not v2 and v3 files of each other. Add file notes to distinguish the raw source. | # Example, [Ohys-Raws] released three 720p HDTV rips for an entire 12 episode series: set 1 of rips using the TBS HDTV source, set 2 using the Tokyo MX source, and set 3 using the AT-X source, for a total of 12 × 3 = 36 HDTV 720p files released.

# Example: if the group's intent is to release as a final product only a dual audio release, but they release a single audio release as a "v0" or "draft" version, then we should consider this single audio "draft" within the version continuity of any subsequent dual audio releases. However, if the group's intent is to release as a final product both a single and dual audio release, do not combine the versioning continuity. | # Example: if the group's intent is to release as a final product only a dual audio release, but they release a single audio release as a "v0" or "draft" version, then we should consider this single audio "draft" within the version continuity of any subsequent dual audio releases.

# Example: in highly exceptional cases, releases that would normally not be considered part of the same continuity may be labelled v2. For example, in this case [https://anidb.net/c15725208 here], the two 540p files for episodes 2 & 4 released by the group were meant to fix an audio problem with the corresponding 480p files, it is '''coincidental''' that the new audio came from a source that had a different resolution of 540p. In this case we considered the 540p files v2 of the 480 files. This case is an exception among exceptions, and must be considered on a case-by-case basis. | # Example: in highly exceptional cases, releases that would normally not be considered part of the same continuity may be labelled v2.

{{eyecatch|Note|We generally do not consider different resolution releases and source changes as version bumps. That being said, you are free to add a file comment, indicating a file is marked as v2 and intended to replace a certain file.
