Folding provisions

You can collapse and expand provisions in the Editor which can make it easier to work on specific provisions without being distracted by others and can help with performance.  In Lawmaker this is called “folding”.

When you first open a document, all provisions will be unfolded but you can quickly fold all provisions if you want.

Provisions than can be folded are shown in the Editor with a small triangle to their left. The provisions that can be folded are:

• In Bills, sections and schedule paragraphs. When these are folded, you’ll still be able to see the section number and heading but not any of the content.

• In SIs, regulations/articles/rules and schedule paragraphs. When these are folded, you’ll still be able to see the regulation etc. heading and number but not any of the content.

• In amendment lists, any quoted structure within an amendment . When these are folded, you’ll just see (folded) instead of the quoted structure content
