contents Compact directed acyclic word graphs (CDAWGs) [Blumer et al. 1987] are a fundamental data structure on strings with applications in text pattern searching, data compression, and pattern discovery. Intuitively, the CDAWG of a string $T$ is obtained by merging isomorphic subtrees of the suffix tree [Weiner 1973] of the same string $T$, and thus CDAWGs are a compact indexing structure. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of CDAWGs when a single character edit operation is performed at an arbitrary position in $T$. We show that the size of the CDAWG after an edit operation on $T$ is asymptotically at most 8 times larger than the original CDAWG before the edit.
