Introduction

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

How to duplicate a document version

  1. Select Duplicate version from the drop-down menu on the tile of the document 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
  4. The system will create a duplicate version of the document, with or without page and line information, and display it on the ‘Project’ tab, in the new folder if a different one was specified

Hints and tips

  • When you duplicate a document version from a snapshot version or a working version, it will create a snapshot version called “Copied” under the source document
  • When sharing documents to users from other organisations, the only way the significant version can be further edited is by making a duplicate version which will create a new working version in the left-hand side of the ‘Project’ tab.
  • When creating a duplicate version, the default permissions set will be all users in the same organisation as the creator will be assigned read and write access.

Bills only

  • Always leave the 'page/line' number checkbox selected: if you un-select it, page and line number information will remain in the XML and this can cause issues with styling in the Editor view.  In future, we will update the Editor so that it can handle page and line number information and present this in useful ways.
  • It is possible to create an Act version of the bill if you select the ‘Convert bill to act’ checkbox when creating a duplicate version

SI/SSIs only

  • It is possible to convert a Draft SI to Made if you select the ‘Convert to Made’ checkbox when creating a duplicate version
  • No labels
