Over the course of 5 volumes, we've been hearing a lot of contradicting things regarding aura. There's two versions of aura that have been presented.

Monty Version: Aura is a passive, protective shield that DOES NOT need to be activated. Once it's unlocked (like Pyrrha  did to Jaune in the Emerald Forest) it is permanently on and will protect until depleted. The exact explanation of this version of aura can be found in Volume 1 Chapter 6.

Miles and Kerry version: Even after a person has unlocked their aura, they must activate it for it to work. For example, Ozpin tells Oscar that he forgot to engage his aura in Vol 5 Chap 4.

Do you think that the Miles and Kerry version is a retcon of Monty's version? Or do you think that Miles and Kerry's should be and is the new interpretation of aura?
