The performance of the Editor has been improved when the document contains a large number of inline amendments. In particular, keyboard lag when typing has been significantly reduced. (LDAPP-4480)

See Inline amendments.

Other amendment improvements and changes

...

Significant versions (e.g. published, shared and submitted to TNA versions) now show the version label from the working version they were created from and the stage to which they relate to make them easier to identify and distinguish. Hovering over the organisation short code will also display a tooltip showing the name of the user who published/shared etc. the document. (LNI-8)

Quoted structures

Update Adjacent quoted structure behaviour to remove restrictions

...

LDAPP-4481

...

Snapshot versions (created when you save a snapshot in the editor, create a PDF, share a document or duplicate a document etc.) are now named in a consistent way following the pattern “{type} {label}”. For example, all PDF snapshots will now start with “PDF” and continue with any user-defined label specified in the Generate PDF dialog box. (LNI-39)

One impact of this change is that it is now possible to publish, or submit to TNA, PDF snapshots that have been given a user-defined label.

See Documents and folders on the Project Tab .

Minor editor improvements

A few minor improvements to the editing experience have been implemented:

  • The accept/reject/reply actions in the review panel now work where the insertion or deletion affects a locked element (e.g. a reference). (LDAPP-4519)

  • When inserting a definition, an extra “text” placeholder is created after the defined term to make it easier to continue typing the definition after the defined term. (LDAPP-4553)

  • Some edge cases where Lawmaker didn’t behave as expected when applying formatting (e.g. bold, italic, underline) to more than one provision have been resolved. (LDAPP-4463)

  • Some cases where the cursor and/or screen jumps to a different location after the completion of an action have been fixed. (LDAPP-4547)

Quoted structures

Inserting quoted structure from CCA

You can now insert a quoted structure by pressing Enter and selecting Quoted Structure. (You can still insert one by pressing ctrl+Q or using the Insert menu.) (LDAPP-4481)

Inserting multiple quoted structures

The behaviour of the existing Insert Adjacent quoted structure function has been modified so it can now be used in any case where you need to insert a quoted structure after the quoted structure your cursor is in. (If you use the general Insert quoted structure function while your cursor is in a quoted structure, then a nested quoted structure will be created.)

The Insert Adjacent quoted structure function will now be useful in two specific situations:

  • Where you need to create multiple quoted structures, one after the other, to represent several discrete textual amendments, e.g. where you are specifying that several definitions should be inserted “at the appropriate place”.

  • When you are creating a complex textual amendment that starts with a lower level provision, e.g. a sub-paragraph, but continues with a higher level provision, e.g. a paragraph. In that case, the first quoted structure will contain the sub-paragraph and an adjacent quoted structure will contain the paragraph, and the start/end quotation marks will need to be adjusted appropriately in the Update quoted structure properties dialog box.
