Promoting Paragraphs with Specific Numbering Formats:
Paragraphs with numbering formats (a), (i), or (aa) will be promoted to the next level up, eg: (a) becomes (1).
If the provision had child elements, lower-level paragraphs with numbering format (i) and/or (aa) will be moved up a level, except if they are children of a child definition or step.
Promoting Paragraphs Not Last Child of Their Kind:
If the provision is not the last child of its kind, it will be promoted to become a sibling of its parent provision, copying over any text.
Any sibling provisions to the promoted provision will become child provisions of the newly promoted provision.
Promoting Last Child of Its Parent with Multiple Instances:
If the provision is the last child of its parent, and there are multiple instances of its kind, it will be promoted into the closing words of its parent provision, copying over any text.
If the provision had child elements, lower-level paragraphs with numbering format (i) and/or (aa) will be moved up a level, except if they are children of a child definition or step.
Promoting Closing Words:
Closing words, where the parent isn't a section or schedule paragraph, will be promoted to become siblings of their parent provision, copying over any text.
Promoting Schedule Subparagraphs:
Schedule subparagraphs will become the content of the schedule paragraph, copying over any text.
If the schedule sub-paragraph had child elements, they will remain child elements without any changes in element type.
Promoting Paragraphs with Numbering Format (1):
Paragraphs with numbering format (1) will create a new regulation (or article etc.) with the promoted paragraph's content. The heading of the regulation (or article etc.) will be left blank.
If the paragraph had child elements, they will be copied to the newly created paragraph without changes in their element types.
Promoting Bullet Lists:
The entire bullet list and its child items will be promoted to become a bullet list at the level above.
If the selected item is at the highest level and has no child elements, it will be promoted into a paragraph of text without a bullet.
Promoting Paragraph Lists in Explanatory Notes and Preamble:
Paragraph lists and their child items will be promoted to become a paragraph list at the level above, converting the numbering format (e.g., from (aa) to (i) and (i) to (a)).
If the selected paragraph is at the highest level and has no child elements, it will be promoted into a regular paragraph of text without a number.
Note: Some promotions may not be possible based on specific conditions or if elements have child elements that prevent further promotion.
