Composer's arrangements!

I tried to add a page of optional alterations in the vocal solo line of a score. It was deleted as improperly submitted. The rules say composers cannot make editions or arrangements of their own scores (para 4 on the Composer Portal Page).
So can someone explain how I can add a page of optional changes? I do not wish to replace the original score but offer singers the possibility of singing some notes an octave lower.
Is the trick just to call it "a Version". ( see Percy Grainger's pages)

Moderator's comments and advice still needed.

Do not add a page. Add the new version to the present page with Add Scan . Edit the page. At the bottom of the page you will see a set of lines beginning with
{{#fte:imslpfile
|File Name 1=Sonata_no._3_in_C_Minor,_Op._35.pdf
|File Description 1=Complete Score
etc.

Cut the line with File name 1 and paste it below the line File Name 1 of the already present version, changing 1 into 2. Do the same with File Description, changing the description to e.g. version with octave changes. Do the same with Date Submitted. Delete all remaining lines including {{#fte:imslpfile and }}.

You can find an example with the booklet version of my edition at https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No. ... _Ladislav)
