Introduction
The structure of your document can be manipulated using the structure view to drag and drop single provisions or amendments or interstitial headings around.
How to move provisions
- Collapse the structure level down to the level of the element you are planning to move
- Locate the provision (including table)/amendment/interstitial heading you wish to move and press and hold the left button on your mouse
- Drag the provision/amendment/interstitial heading to the target location
- When the surrounding provisions/amendments/interstitial headings move out of the way, drop the selected provision into its new location
Hints and tips
- Valid drop locations will be indicated by green text with a ‘tick’ symbol; invalid drop locations will be indicated by red text and a ‘cross’ symbol.
- If you move the penultimate subsection out of a section, the remaining subsection will auto-convert into a section/content element
- You cannot move a subsection into a section with only section/content. You will need to convert the section’s content into a subsection by inserting a subsection into the section first. This can be later deleted if not required.
- Provisions will move and make space for the selected provision only when the drop location is valid
- The system performs better when neighbouring provisions have been collapsed to the level of the selected provision
- You can move provisions out of quoted structures and into the main body of the document and vice versa
- Paragraph i.e. of the numbering format (a), (i) and (A)/(aa) from sections can be moved into schedule sub-paragraphs (but not schedule paragraphs)
- It’s not possible to move more than one provision at a time yet.
