See Applying Amendments.
The auto-application process
Amendments can be now applied to a Bill version that is open in the Editor. As well as creating a new version containing the applied amendments or applying amendments to a previously saved working version, you can now apply amendments to a Bill that you have open in the Editor (any changes to the Bill will be saved as part of the application process). (LDAPP-4486)
Accepting amendments
Applied amendments can be accepted one-by-one as well as all at the same time. Much in the same way that individual tracked changes can be accepted, it is now possible to accept individual applied amendments using the inline amendment panel. (LDAPP-4467)
Improvements to the auto-application logic
There are a number of improvements to the types of amendments that can be handled by the auto-application feature and to the logic used in applying them:
Amendments that insert provisions including a cross-heading, Part or Chapter can now be applied. Previously it was only possible to apply amendments that inserted a section/clause or smaller provision. Now amendments that insert a cross-heading containing a section When the amendments are accepted, some additional clean-up takes place to ensure the hierarchical structure of the document remains correct. (LDAPP-4515, LDAPP-4475, LDAPP-4523)
Amendments which leave out text beginning with punctuation can now be applied successfully. (LDAPP-4543)
Amendments to tables that leave out, insert or substitute words in a table cell can now be applied. (Amendments that leave out, insert, or substitute table rows will be handled in a future release.) (LDAPP-3107)
Order that amendments with the same insertion location are applied is determined by the sort code value. This is particularly relevant for New Clause/Schedule amendments in the Commons but may be useful elsewhere too. (LDAPP-4471)
Handling amendments to the same line has been improved so that application of a later amendment is not affected by the application of any earlier amendment in cases where the amendments rely on ordinal references (e.g. “after second “the” insert…”) or where one amendment leaves out text to the end of a line and another amendment inserts content “at end” of the same line. (LDAPP-4473)
Inline amendments
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)
Other amendment improvements and changes
Submitting amendments
The process for submitting amendments from the Amendment Manager and from within the Editor has been made more consistent. In particular, a new interface has been introduced that shows the different checks that have been carried out as part of the submission process and identifies the specific amendments that have failed any of the checks. (LNI-61)
...
Publishing amendments
Similarly to submitting amendments, there is a new interface making it clearer what checks were carried out as part of the publishing process when publishing amendment lists. (LNI-42)
Commons amendment list templates
Minor updates have been made to the templates for Commons Official lists (LDAPP-4384)
Reference tagging
Further improvements have been made to Lawmaker’s ability to tag external references in complex cases. In particular:
Lists of references that refer to different types of provisions (e.g. section, paragraph and schedule references in ““in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 30C(5) to (7), 32(7), (8) and (13), 33(4A), (5) and (8) and 34(5) of, and paragraph 9(1) of Schedule 1 to, the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018”) are now tagged. (LDAPP-4532)
Contextual references following the words “after”, “before” and “omit” in textual amendments are tagged correctly. (LDAPP-4500)
References that rely on an alias are tagged even where the alias includes brackets (e.g. a reference to “F(No.2)A 2023” can now be handled) (LDAPP-4499)
Some cases which shouldn’t be tagged are now handled appropriately (references inside defined terms and “that part” when it occurs in a phrase like “that partial”) (LDAPP-4479, LDAPP-4447)
