First it had to be activated to shield the user (Pyrrha asked Jaune why he didn't activate his Aura back in Vol.1). Then came the Aura WoR which stated that it did that passively. Then came Vol.5 and Ren stated it had to be activated. … We've been over this before... that's not a retcon. Both Statements are simultaneously true until any claim is made otherwise by RT...

I suppose the best way to pose it is like this; inactivated, Aura is like a health bar, you take damage constantly, but the aura protects critical systems(it keeps you alive), when you "activate" it, it envelopes the body, acting like a shield(you don't take damage till its gone) while your "health" would seemingly drop proportionately(yet supposedly with training it increases so it may never really "drop"). "Advanced" would be any activity that utilizes it outside of these functions, like Ki beams, enhancing jumps/mobility, point defense concentrations, what have you.

Jaune doesn't really do advanced shit atm besides his semblance proper, just enhance sword/armor/self... he doesn't even fire weapons.
