Users can generate a copy of a Bill with any amendments they choose applied to it (regardless of the status of the amendment or whether the amendment is an inline amendment or traditionally drafted amendment).   All successfully applied amendments will appear marked up in the bill version with a corresponding 'inline amendment card' in the "Inline Amendments" right-hand panel in the Editor. In the document itself, the applied amendments will show up as tracked changes. In the event that an amendment cannot be applied e.g. the page/line information is incorrect or it overlaps with another applied amendment, it will be listed separately on the "Review" right-hand panel in the Editor with a brief description explaining why.  Handling amendments in this way means that you will know exactly which amendments out of a batch were applied and which were not.  

For the first iteration of auto-apply amendment functionality, we focused on the 3 main types of amendment:

  • Insert (including inserting new clauses/sections and schedules)

  • Leave out, and

  • Substitute (e.g. leave out X and insert Y).

See Auto-application of amendments to a bill version for more detail.
