Introduction

It may be necessary to duplicate/copy a document version in order to continue editing it. 

You can create a new working version of a document within a project by duplicating an existing version. Working versions, snapshots and significant versions can all be duplicated.

How to duplicate a document version

  1. Select 

    On the Project Tab, select Duplicate version from the

    drop-down menu on the tile of the document

    Actions menu next to the version you want to duplicate

  2. The system will ask you to specify a folder and a version description and whether you want to retain the page and line number information
  3. When you have provided a folder and/or version description and decided on page/line information, click Create

  2. Specify a Folder that the duplicate will be placed in. This can be an existing folder selected from the menu or you can type in the name of a new folder and it will be created at the same time.

  3. Enter a name for the duplicate version in the Version description field.

  4. Leave the “Strip out page/line numbers” option checked. (If you deselect it, any existing page and line number information will remain in the XML and this can cause issues with styling in the Editor view.  A future update to Lawmaker may enable the Editor to make use of the information.)

  5. Leave “Convert to Act”/”Convert to Made” option unchecked.

  6. Click Create.

A duplicate version of the document will be created as a working version on the Project Tab in the folder you specified.
