The idea
The APA Publication Manual is revised periodically, and the current edition is the authority for details.
In practice
The core system, author and date in the text and a references list, is stable, while details such as the treatment of DOIs have changed between editions.
Where people slip
Follow your instructor's version of APA when it differs from a guide you find elsewhere.
