When making a traditional-format comic, how do episodes work?

I was doing page format, but changed to mobile scroll about 10 pages in. (I still make each page as a page for eventual printing purposes, but re-arrange the panels vertically to post here and on WEBTOON. I started because it's way more popular and likely to be promoted, but I've actually come to prefer the scrolling format now.)

When I was using page format, I tended to just upload one page per week, per 'episode'. (And I titled the episodes with their chapter and page numbers.) If a page was nothing more than an establishing shot, or nothing much of interest happened, I'd upload two at once.

Since you work in vector format and can re-size elements with no quality loss, you're actually well-placed to work in both formats! I'd encourage it. It takes a little extra time, but reformatting for vertical is something which doesn't have to take a long time, and it's not 'hard' work; it doesn't require much focus.) I usually do it while chilling on the couch with my partner.)
