Quoting from the Published Silmarillion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

See the **principles** thread; wherein this sort of question is, I am almost certain, addressed in almost complete detail.

The latest Source text[s] is always the default text. QS 77/99 is only used when it can arguably be said to be a necessary improvement on the source texts. Doriath may prove to be our source text for that chapter, along with some modifications needed from Wanderings of Hurin.

The chapter 'Of Aule and Yavanna' might be an example where we would use the chapter already conflated in 77/99 from the Anaxartamel and [I think] the Annals of Aman [WotJ].
