This is different from an Alternate Universe in that outside of crossovers and What If? scenarios, they generally don't interact with the "main" universe. However, in some circumstances an Alternate Continuity can become an Alternate Universe if the characters crossover.
I'm just checking to ensure that this is correct, don't want to misuse this trope on pages.

Last time I asked about Alternate Continuity being an Alternate Universe
and Tropers.Fighteer said:
Now that Constantine and Supergirl2015 form part of Arrowverse are they Alternate Continuities that are now an Alternate Universe?
As I understand it, Constantine was an Alternate Continuity (with its own separate) from Arrow and The Flash (2014) when it launched, and Supergirl2015 was in its own Alternate Continuity (with its own separate canon) to The Flash (2014), until Canon Welding took place and they were retroactively put into the Arrowverse?
Am I correct in thinking that if a creator/the creators retroactively move a standalone work that's in its own Alternate Continuity into another universe, an Alternate Continuity becomes an Alternate Universe?
This was also on Alternate Continuity:
