This is a major release containing a range of new features, significant enhancements to the referencing functionality, a new beta feature to generate citation footnotes in SIs and some bug fixes.
It was released on [20 21 August 2024].
References to other provisions and documents
...
The text of a reference can no longer still be directly edited in the Editor but you can also use the Edit reference option in the toolbar to update the text and metadata fields if necessary (the ability to edit the reference text directly will be removed in the next release).
You can also trigger an update of the reference, mark it to be ignored or remove the reference mark-up from the toolbar.
...
Amendment list XML can be downloaded by selecting ‘Download ZIP file’ from the Actions menu next to any amendment list on the Amendment Workspace or Official Lists tabs. The ZIP file contains XML which can then be uploaded to any other bill project to recreate the amendments from that list as new draft amendments.
See Uploading amendment lists to create new amendments.
Editing fragments of a schedule
...
In consequence of this change, the structure view now shows the grouping levels within a schedule by default.
See Opening and editing a portion of document and Locking document fragments/multi-user editing.
| Info |
|---|
Schedules created in documents before this version is released will not immediately be fragmented in the new way - they will remain as single fragments that can only be edited and locked at that level. However, as soon as the document is saved again after this release, all schedules in the document will be fragmented at the grouping level. |
