+...force ytdl-sub to re-download a video
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``ytdl-sub`` decides what videos have already been downloaded by entries in :ref:`the
+download archive file <config_reference/plugins:output_options>`,
+``./.ytdl-sub-...-download-archive.json``, at the top of the subscription/series/show
+:ref:`output directory <config_reference/plugins:output_options>` in the appropriate

+
+  ``ytdl-sub`` loads the ``./.ytdl-sub-...-download-archive.json`` file early, keeps it
+  in memory, and writes it back out late. If it's running or starts running while you're
+  modifying that file, then your changes will be overwritten when it exits.
+
+- Remove the ``./.ytdl-sub-...-download-archive.json`` JSON array item:
+
+  Search for the stem name, the basename without any extension or suffix, common to all
+  the downloaded files in this file and delete that whole entry, from the YouTube ID
+  string to the closing curly braces. Be ware of JSON traling commas.
+
+- Run ``$ ytdl-sub sub`` again.
