# Version Updates

When you purchase a product on 3DIMLI, you get access to that product's files through your Downloads page. If the seller updates the product files, your access is automatically updated as well.

## For Buyers

### Automatic Access to Updates

When a seller updates their product files:

- Your Downloads page automatically reflects the update.
- The **Latest Version** tag appears on the product card.
- Clicking Download gives you the newest version.
- No additional payment required.

### How to Get the Latest Version

1. Go to your **Downloads** page.
2. Look for the **Latest Version** tag.
3. Click **Download** to get the updated file.

If you previously downloaded an older version, simply download again to get the update.

### Need an Older Version?

Downloads always provide the latest version. If you need an earlier version:

- Check the product page for version information.
- Contact the seller directly to request a specific version.
- Sellers may provide older versions at their discretion.

## For Sellers

### File Replacement Policy

**Important**: When you replace a product's file, **all previous buyers automatically get access to the new file**.

How it works:
1. You upload a new file to replace the existing one.
2. All buyers who purchased your product can now download the new file.
3. Their Downloads page shows the updated version.

### When to Replace vs. Create New Product

| Scenario | Action | Reason |
|----------|--------|--------|
| Bug fixes | Replace file | All buyers should get the fix |
| Minor improvements | Replace file | Enhances existing product |
| Compatibility updates | Replace file | Keeps product current |
| Major new features | New product | Charge separately for new work |
| Significant redesign (v2) | New product | Existing buyers keep original |
| Pro/Premium edition | New product | Different product tier |

### Keeping Versions Separate

If you **don't want** previous buyers to get an update, create a new product listing:

**Example:**
- Original: "3D Character Model"
- Updated: "3D Character Model v2"

This way:
- Original buyers keep access to the original file only.
- The new version requires a separate purchase.
- You control who gets which version.
