Option 1 - Using tags to guide you:
From the upper tool bar, select "Document > Preferences" and select "Block tags" from the Tag Display Mode drop-down menu.
Place your cursor in the element before the provision you are trying to insert your element before e.g. to insert a section before the first section in a bill only containing sections: place your cursor after the "body" tag.
Click 'Enter' to access the Insert menu/CCA and select your desired provision.
The system will insert the provision after the element that your cursor is placed after so in the section example, it will be inserted immediately after the "body" element and before your first "Section" element.
Option 2 - Using the breadcrumbs to guide you:
Place your cursor at the start of the element you want to insert an element before e.g. to insert a section before the first section in a bill only containing section - place your cursor in the "num" of the first section.
Use the back arrow on the keyboard to move your cursor left-wards through the element tags (the element that your cursor appears in will be shown in the breadcrumb so in the section example, it will show Bill > body > section > Num)
Click 'Enter' to access the Insert menu/CCA when you get to the correct element (using the example above, this would be when you got to 'body') and select your desired provision
The system will insert the provision after the element that your cursor is placed after so in the example above, a section would be inserted immediately after the "body" element and before your first "Section" element.
The reason for these 2 approaches is because the system will always attempt to insert your selected provision after the element that your cursor is in, which is why it is difficult to position your cursor so that the inserted provision is inserted before the first element in a list. This technique gets around that issue as long as you understand the hierarchical nature of XML.
