When is it appropriate to create a new tread for a tutorial?

[ZizOiz]

I have read the rules, both for the forum, and for the tutorials, and I have a question about when to make a new thread for a tutorial. I have read the rule against necroposting, and also read that the necroposting rule is waived in the tutorials section, and searched for an answer for this, though my searching skills are terrible.

If I have written a tutorial that is on a topic already covered, but in a much older version, is it OK to create a new tread for my tutorial?

This is a hypothetical situation, and I was just wondering, in case ever a case of this arises.

Edit: Changed the first word in the topic so it was capitalized. it was bothering me.

Is your new tutorial an extension to the old one or an entirely different method?

Sabrown's got the right idea. Create a new thread if it's a different way to the same result. If it only has one or two steps different, just tag it to the end of the previous.
