Until recently I kept previous versions, other editions, other translations etc, in a separate set of folders identified by library name and book number e.g. "..\Books\1234"

But I've moved them into the recently introduced book 'data' folders. When a new version is released I copy the current version into book's 'data' folder before dropping the new version onto the Book details panel. The names of files and sub-folders in the book 'data' folder are defined by the user. If a book gets regular new versions I create a 'Versions' sub-folder and add something to the file names e.g. "2023-Q1 - blah-blah".
