Why do I see several work versions of my work?

Several work versions are an indicator for cases where there is more than one version of a work. They either reflect individual contents, mixes or arrangements.

Additional work versions may be generated if there are several notifications for the same work, e.g. from other participating creators or publishers, and they have not yet been processed. Another reason could be that you submitted a complete work change yourself. This work amendment is initially just saved with the work and has thus generated a new work version. This work version only exists temporarily and will be deleted as soon as the change is carried out and the first work version has been overwritten.
