@neversaynever1 - I'll try and explain.
1. The OPE file and the ISO file are completely different. The OPE file contains all the "standard" components (base Windows PE System components) of a vanilla WinPE to insure that it's built with the latest MicroSloth released components. It's contents, along with the Hasleo PE-based version of their software are combined and built into the Hasleo WinPE ISO which resides in the "bin" folder. Everything that's in the ISO file, starts out in the OPE and is modified for use by Hasleo when the WinPE is built. Basically, the OPE file and Hasleo itself contain all the building blocks needed to produce their WinPE.iso.
2.The base WinPE components don't change very often as far as MicroSloth is concerned. For instance, the current WinPE Windows 10 is version v2004... it's already over 3-1/2 yrs old and has remained during all System updates & Upgrades since the 2nd quarter of 2020. You can always reference WikiPedia to see the latest versions available and what they are based on.
Since Hasleo's WinPE.iso is based on currently supported MS components (3-1/2 yrs old) and the latest release of HBS, it would behoove you to rebuild the Emergency Media whenever Hasleo issues a new release... if you feel you need it. When a new release is available, I would look at their ChangeLog and determine whether the changes are really applicable to your Emergency Disk environment... some changes many not have any affect on restorations at all. Major feature changes which would improve restoration processes (ie, Delta Restore) would definitely call for an Emergency Disk rebuild, scheduling changes not so much since you wouldn't use those features in an Emergency Disk environment. Best call would be to rebuild the ISO whenever Hasleo comes up with a new Public release.
I might add, whenever you install a new version of HBS, the installer has you uninstall the previous version. This process will remove the previously built Hasleo WinPE.iso. Anytime you really need this file will probably be whenever you use the automatic restoration function, and at that point it will ask for a rebuid during the restoration setup.
