This advisory warning alerts you to any internal cross-references which may have been changed in a way that will create unexpected results when using the ‘Update x-refs’ Image Added function.

Every cross-reference in a document consists of two essential elements: the reference text and the target information. The reference text is the visible text of the reference which appears in the document. The target information is the system’s record Lawmaker’s underlying record of where that reference should point to; i.e. the location of the provision the cross-reference is referencing. As you create new add and delete provisions in a document and reorder and renumber existing provisions, the ‘Update x-refs’ action gives you a means of automatically updating the reference text of any internal cross-references which need to be changed as a result of other changes any renumbering you have made to the provisions in the document. This action relies on the target information stored in the each cross-reference.

For example, if you have created a several cross-reference references to ‘section 4' throughout your document, and section 4 is subsequently moved elsewhere in the document and renumbered as section 8, the ‘Update x-refs’ action will automatically correct the reference text of your cross-reference references so that it they instead reads read 'section 8’.

However, this functionality won’t work correctly if the reference text and target information go have become out-of-sync for any reason. This can happen if you manually edit the reference text or change the target information. Where this has happened, this document check reminds you to look at the target information (which appears in brackets in the document check message) and compare it with the text of the reference. If they don’t appear to match and you intend to use the ‘Update x-refs’ action, you should remove the reference tags from the cross-reference (by right-clicking on it and selecting ‘remove reference tag’) and then re-create it using either of the following methods:
