Introduction

Sometimes you might only need to update a single provision or a subset of provisions in a document.  Or sometimes you might be working with other drafters in the same bill and only want to update the provisions that you are responsible for.  Or sometimes the bill might be so large, that opening up the whole document creates performance issues.  To address these various needs, we have made it possible to edit a portion of the document without needing to open the whole document.
