when is it better to post a fic rewrite as a new work instead of editing existing chapters?

is it after a certain percentage of changes? certain amount of new content? when the comments stop matching the details of the chapters? when tags get changed? when chapter count gets altered? when scenes get shuffled between chapters? when edits break the continuity between chapters as they're added one by one? when it's fair to assume people would want to get notifications for the rewritten chapters as they're posted? when it would be less work to archive the old version rather than reposting it for archival purposes?

(feedback welcome)

#yea fic talk #i breezed through ch 1-9 while outlining the rewrite #then hit the wall of do i want to post a new separate version #coz i want to make a couple big moves but can't justify them as just edits in an existing fic #im going to archive the first iteration anyway #but i don't know if it's a risk or an opportunity to restart with a clean slate #would be fun to see how the different versions do re kudos n such #would it even be bad if the new version never surpasses the old?#questions questions
