[Edge WebDriver Docs Feedback] Version Match between Browser Version and Webdriver Version

[helfried-behrendt]

I missed the Information on how exact must the Version match between WebDriver and Browser be. That means, would a Browser with Version 128.0.2739.79 work with a WebDriver with Version 128.0.2739.84 or 128.0.2739.50? Must the main Match follow the first 3 Fields of the Version Number or Not?

I unfortunately don't have the answer to this question myself, but I think you should ask this on the EdgeWebDriver repository here: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/EdgeWebDriver/

Let's keep this doc issue opened and evaluate whether our existing documentation is clear enough on this.
This section suggests that the versions should match, but it's not clear on whether that should be an exact match: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium/?tabs=c-sharp#download-microsoft-edge-webdriver

I asked internally and got the following answer: only the 3 first components of the version number need to match.
For example:

Browser version 128.0.2739.79

would work with:

WebDriver version 128.0.2739.84
