We propose a typology for identifying different types of evolution processes (consolidation, reconfiguration, mutation, and elimination) using the Spanish party Podemos paradigmatic case. Our analysis points out the centrality of hard and soft setbacks in the evolution of the digital procedures of the party. Findings indicate the relevance of different dynamics, such as institutionalisation, personalisation, and factionalism, jointly with other internal and external factors. Studying the evolution of digital party procedures is relevant for tracing party change in digital parties and other parties that are experiencing digitalisation processes.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article1743-9612https://doi.org/10.1080/13608746.2022.2161973https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13608746.2022.2161973open accessDigital partyMovement partyParty innovationInternal party democracyParty institutionalisationPodemosParty organisationPolíticaPartidos y grupos políticos59 Ciencia Política5905.06 Partidos Políticos
