* Len Deighton's ''Hook Line & Sinker'' trilogy retconned the events of his earlier ''Game, Set & Match'' trilogy. In the latter trilogy, Bernie Samson discovered that [[spoiler: his wife was a deep cover agent for the Russians]]. The former trilogy changed this so that [[spoiler: his wife was actually working as a deep cover agent for the British with her defection as a bluff]].

** In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone,'' Dumbledore flies to London for a supposed meeting, then flies back, arriving just in time to [[spoiler:save Harry from Quirrellmort]]. We were probably supposed to believe that he was on broomstick. But later books introduce the ideas that wizards have instantaneous methods of travel: Floo Powder, Apparition, etc. Book 5 tells us Dumbledore went on a flying horse (Thestral) because he wanted to arrive late because the Ministry (who were supposed to have called the meeting) were annoying him. But couldn't he have just taken Floo Powder at a later time?

Also Side-Along Apparition isn't introduced until book 6, though there were plenty of times in previous books that it would have been very handy.

** There was a short spinoff series where each of the girls writes an autobiography. They must have been written by different writers, because Kristy, Mary Anne, and Claudia have conflicting memories of their elementary school years (when they all knew each other).

* In-verse example: ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' is hugely based off this trope. Big Brother can rewrite history at will, and the masses have to eat it up. Retconning is done at the Ministry of Truth, the protagonist's main place of work, and mainly consists of editing out people who fell from Big Brother's favor and were [[{{Unperson}} "vaporized"]].

*** Mosep Binneed using Jabba's name as an alias is a subtle way of reconciling Jabba's pre-''Return of the Jedi'' appearances in the [[ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977 original Marvel comics]], which based Jabba's appearance off the alien extra later established as Mosep.
