How to publish an amendment list in Lawmaker

1. From the Official Lists tab: find the amendment list that you just created.  It will be a green document on the left-hand side of the screen and probably the top of the list if it was the most recently generated 

2. Click on the black triangle to the left of the list name which will expand the view to show all snapshot versions linked to that document 

3. Locate your PDF snapshot version  

4. Select Publish version from the Actions dropdown menu (you might have to scroll to find that option). 

5. Lawmaker will present a publish confirmation dialog box showing whether the amendment list can be published or not. If it cannot be published, it will show which amendments are breaking the validation rules under the validation rule they have broken allowing you to update as required before republishing.  

6. Click on Publish on the warning message 

7. Once publishing has completed, a new grey published version will appear on the right-hand side of the screen
