+## branchPrefixOld
+
+Renovate uses branch names to determine if an update PR was created before.
+If an old PR was closed by a User, it is ignored and will not be recreated.
+Use this option to ignore PR created with `branchPrefixOld`.
+Best Used with `branchPrefix`.

 ## branchTopic
 
 This field is combined with `branchPrefix` and `additionalBranchPrefix` to form the full `branchName`. `branchName` uniqueness is important for dependency update grouping or non-grouping so be cautious about ever editing this field manually.
