Variant Object States

You'll find the following terms used when referring to variants:

• A standard object: Any object without variants. When a book is filtered, it displays the standard objects as usual, along with any variants.

  Note: When a variant is created, the standard object becomes a primary object.

• A primary object: Any object that has one or more variants. The primary object maintains the relationship between a book and variant object. When a book is filtered, the primary object is replaced with the variant matching the selected criteria. If the primary object does not have a variant that matches the selected criteria, the primary object is displayed.
• A variant object: A variation of a primary.
