  • File B (version 0.2) will not be crawled.
  • File C (version 1.0) will be crawled.
  • File D (version 1.1) will be crawled.
  • File E (version 2.0) will be crawled. 

• When a file has the "rejected" or "pending" status, it will not be crawled unless a previous version of the file already exists. If however a previous version exists (no matter its status), the file will be crawled.
