To create a cross-reference using the Structure View:
Right-click on the provision in the Structure view you want to refer to (you may want to turn on full-depth mode to see all provisions - see Using the structure view).
From the context menu that appears, select the reference you want to copy from the Select x-ref to copy sub-menu. The menu will show all the different options for referring to the provision so you can select whether or not you want the provision name (e.g. “section”) to be included and whether any ancestor provisions should be included in the reference.
This will place the selected cross-reference in the clipboard.
To insert the reference, place your cursor in the Editor where you would like the cross reference to be inserted and press Ctrl+v to paste in the reference.

|---|
In SI/SSIs, Lawmaker will determine whether a provision should be referred to in the reference as a “sub-paragraph” or “paragraph” depending on the provision’s context. |
...
Both valid and invalid references will be updated. If Lawmaker can no longer find the target of valid reference in the current document then it will change the reference’s status to invalid. Equally, if Lawmaker finds the target of an invalid reference then it will change the reference’s status to valid.
Tagging and updating cross-references when editing a portion of the document
If you have a portion of a document open in the Editor (see Opening and editing a portion of document) and you use the Tag x-ref or Update x-refs feature, Lawmaker will detect when references in the portion do not point to other provisions within the portion and give you option to search the whole document rather than just the portion.
This will take longer than just searching the portion but will mean that references to other parts of the document are tagged and updated correctly instead of being marked as invalid references.
