- It is possible to promote or demote a provision that has child elements. Descendant paragraph-type elements will be also converted to their next logical element type, unless they are within definitions or steps
- Promoting a provision after a list of paragraphs, sub-paragraphs or sub-sub-paragraphs will convert the paragraph-type element into closing words as the first step, and then into the next provision up in the hierarchy.
- Promoting the only subsection in a section or sub-paragraph (with the number format (1)) in a regulation (or article etc.) can be a quick way of converting the subsection/sub-paragraph into section/regulation (or article etc.) content
- The right-click context menu will show spelling suggestions as a priority if you right-click on a word which isn’t recognised (with red wavy underscore). In this instance, select Other actions in the menu to continue navigating to promote or demote element
- Only valid provisions/elements can be demoted or promoted. If you select a provision/element that isn’t valid, the Editor will present an error message
- See Annex 7 and 8 for promotion and demotion rules which are dependent on the context/ancestry of the provision
- Demote works for subsections, schedule sub-paragraphs, paragraphs and sub-paragraphs as long as there is another element of the same kind before it to ‘adopt’ the demoted provision as its child.
- Promote will work out the context that the provision being promoted is in to determine the next appropriate provision it should be promoted to.
- You can promote subsections/paragraph (1)s (into section/regulation text) paragraphs, sub-paragraphs, sub-sub-paragraphs, definitions and steps, schedule sub-paragraphs
- You can demote section/regulation text (into subsection/paragraph (1)), paragraphs, sub-paragraphs, definitions and steps, schedule paragraph text and schedule sub-paragraphs
