If u:C→C′ is a morphism of complexes of right A-modules and E a complex of left A-modules, then the complexes Con(u)⊗AE and Con(u⊗1E) are isomorphic.
By definition, Con(u)⊗AE is the graded module (C′(−1)⊕C)⊗AE endowed with the differential D such that, for x∈Cp, y′∈C′(−1)p=Cp−1′, z∈Eq, we have

D(y′,x)⊗z=(−dy′,dx−u(y′))⊗z+(−1)p(y′,x)⊗dz,
while Con(u⊗1E) is the graded module (C′⊗AE)(−1)⊕(C⊗AE) endowed with the differential D1 such that, for x∈Cp, y′∈Cp−1′, z∈Eq, we have
