For one public lettering correction, verify issuer, edition, balloon and qualifiers, preserving old notes and correction scope rather than treating a reader comment as official errata.

English translation of the [Chinese original](<https://allluckly.cn/guides/manyue-published-balloon-correction-match/>), translated on 2026-11-06. Original publication dates, attribution, code and version notes are retained.

An author or publisher’s dialogue correction first requires edition matching. In ManYue, compare an authorised sample with a public notice and record wording, scope and note updates. The example is invented and alleges no real work’s error. No automatic notice verification, balloon patching or source-file rewriting is assumed.

## Verify who issued the correction

Read the notice through an existing public author/publisher channel and record issuer, date, work, applicable volume, language and edition. Separate reader comments, reposted screenshots and speculation. Without the original notice, mark provenance unverified rather than treating an unattributed image as official. Classify lettering-only versus wording changes from the actual statement. Start with one balloon, not multiple volumes. Keep access date and necessary short excerpts for changing notices without republishing complete protected material.

## Confirm the file is within scope

Inspect actual edition/copyright information, chapter and neighbouring artwork, not only the bookshelf title. Collected, serial and translated editions may differ in wording and numbering. Leave unknown batch identity unresolved when the notice is batch-specific. Record actual page identity and any printed/image-index difference caused by covers or inserts. Preserve the file rather than editing metadata or lettering to manufacture a match. Establish applicability before changing personal notes.

## Locate the exact balloon, not a similar line

Use supplied chapter, page, figure or phrase, then inspect tail and adjacent responses. Repeated wording needs panel location instead of phrase-only matching. Check whether a notice image is an enlarged crop or translation illustration. Keep speaker alternatives where unresolved rather than assigning the change to the nearest figure. Save a supported page bookmark with external panel details; balloon-level jumps and identical bookmark granularity across sources are not guaranteed.

## Compare old and corrected wording word by word

Record the actual short line, notice wording and exact difference rather than an impression. In an invented correction from “not going today” to “going today,” one negation changes meaning and must survive in notes. Position-only changes with identical words belong to lettering scope. Check numbers, names, qualifiers and attribution without correcting unstated material. Verify unreadable source letters from a clear image instead of inferring every stroke backward from the new line and claiming word-level inspection.

## Limit the correction’s interpretive effect

Read adjacent dialogue/action and identify which judgement changes and which notes retain support. One negation correction does not rewrite every motive or admit a whole chapter is wrong. A language-specific correction requires relevant language knowledge and sources for cross-language comparison, not word length. Separate interpretation and remaining questions. Invalidating one hypothesis does not automatically prove another, so revise each inference against its evidence.

## Update notes while retaining revision history

Log old judgement, notice source, edition scope, update date and new understanding, distinguishing old-edition wording from your transcription error. Do not rewrite history or quote your new interpretation as the author. Treat an authorised revised file as a new copy, checking target and other pages and remapping bookmarks by chapter/image where needed. Renaming does not replace text. Label editions and retain a recoverable original until the replacement is accepted rather than deleting the sole file because a notice exists.

## Preserve scope when a notice changes

If a notice later adds volume scope, changes wording or withdraws a statement, record the new date, issuer location and change instead of overwriting the old explanation. Verify the same trusted issuer; a repost’s changed title is not an official update. Attribute old notes to their then-current basis and revise only affected editions. An unavailable page alone does not prove withdrawal, only failed current access. A minimal notice timeline identifies which explanation each check used, without editing the comic or publishing a revision package for its creator.

## Leave and return to check the correction chain

Keep notice, source page and note references. Leave the reader and reopen them, verifying the same edition and balloon. Revisit a revised copy’s surrounding sentences too, not just cover or date. Preserve unverified status when a notice is unavailable, attributing any offline excerpt to its access-time source rather than claiming current verification. State provenance confidence, applicability, wording match and interpretive scope. A complete chain avoids unauthorised page patching or an unbounded verdict on the work.
