For Bills and Acts, you can update document information (metadata) like the title, number, session and related members from the Project tab. For larger documents, this will be quicker than updating it in the Editor.
How to update document information
From the Project tab, find the working version that you want to update.
Select Actions > Update Document Information.
A dialogue box will appear with fields for you to update. The fields that are visible will depend on the document type.
Update the fields in the dialogue box.
Click Update.
Lawmaker will update the document without you needing to open the document.
You cannot update the Document Information from the Project tab if another user is currently updating it or you have the document open in the Editor already and have a lock on it.
If the document has a back cover, you will need to reinsert it to make sure all the changes made here are visible on the cover. See Inserting UK Bill and Act front and back covers and Inserting Scottish Bill and Act front and back covers .
