expanded edition

Book with additions

An expanded edition is a version of a book, album, or other published work that includes additional material beyond the original release.

Publishers issue expanded editions to add new chapters, bonus tracks, deleted scenes, or supplementary content: The expanded edition includes three previously unreleased songs.

The term signals more content rather than revision of what already existed.
