Hints and tips

You cannot move an amendment if it is locked to another user for editing.

You cannot move an amendment if you do not have edit rights to update the amendment.

You can move an amendment to another stage when it is at any state (e.g. Draft, Submitted, Tabled etc.). If you had an amendment that had been tabled in one stage and went through the Parliamentary process and the same amendment was tabled again at a later stage, it would be better to copy and paste that amendment into a LoDA for the new stage rather than move it as moving an amendment to another stage does not clear out it's lifecycle information (date that it was submitted, tabled etc.)

How to copy amendments or motions to another stage

On the Amendment Manager tab, select one or more amendments or motions using the check boxes to the left of the amendments.
Select Amendment Actions>Move/copy to a different stage.
Select Copy amendments to a different stage.
Select the stage to move the amendments to using the Stage dropdown menu.
The Bill version will default to the most recently published version but can be adjusted using the Bill version dropdown menu if necessary.
Click Confirm.

The selected amendments will be copied to the new stage (and Bill version) and you will be able to see them on the Amendment Manager tab.

The new amendments will be the same as the original amendments except they will:

have new D-numbers assigned to them,
have empty num elements,
have no supporters,
have a status of “Draft” (and have no other lifecycle information recorded against them), and
have any existing decision block deleted (Commons amendments only).

Info
If you copy UK amendments to the “Ping pong” stage, any Commons amendments that are copied will be converted into Lords amendments.

Copied amendments do not appear on any LoDA by default. If you want to create a LoDA containing the copied amendments, first create a temporary list containing them and then use the Save As feature to create a LoDA. See Saving a temporary list as a new amendment list.
