When you save your list, your locks will be released. At the same time, the "Amendment Information" panel will be updated with any changes to the instruction resulting in different 'location' information e.g. if you changed a page or line number etc.
Selecting a proposer from the 'Create list of draft amendments' dialogue box doesn't work yet for Ping Pong. You can update the proposers associated to the motions (and their amendments) by clicking on the blue proposer element in the Editor.
The default permissions set will be that any user in the same organisation as you will have read/write access to your document including the ability to submit one or more amendments within it.
The bill version will default to the latest published bill version in the selected project.
When you save your List of Draft Amendments, any new motion will be automatically assigned a unique number constructed from the abbreviated form of the organisation you belong to, followed by a number e.g. HoC1 which will stay with the motion throughout its lifetime and can provide a handy reference for the amendment before the official number is assigned
