Introduction
When a new project is created, the Bill does not include front and back covers. These can be inserted at any point when drafting the document in the Editor. The front cover also contains the table of contents by default.

How to insert the back cover
In the Editor, from the toolbar select Insert>Insert back cover.
You can only insert a back cover for a Bill.
The contents of the back cover are derived from other parts of the Bill and details entered into the Document Information panel: The Long Title is derived from the Long Title in the preface of the Bill and shouldn’t be edited directly on the back cover. The presentation of the Long Title in the Editor is an approximation and you should view the PDF to see it properly formatted. [Scottish bills] By default, the back cover will include supporter information. If there are no supporters, place the cursor in the supporter information on the back cover, select ‘Supporter block’ from the breadcrumb, and press Backspace to delete it cleanly from the back cover. [UK bills] If no brought from date is supplied, the back cover will display presenter/supporter information and the copyright statement will only include one House (the ‘printed by’ House). [UK bills] If brought from date is supplied, the block above the ‘Ordered to be printed’ section will display the ‘brought from’ date and the copyright statement will include both Houses.
Some elements of the back cover will automatically update when you change them in the Document Information panel but for others you will need to reinsert the back cover before the changes will be visible.

Deleting the front or back cover
To delete the front or back cover, select it either from the breadcrumb or using the structure view and press Backspace as you would delete a normal provision in the document.
