Hints and tips
- User the ‘search’ box at the top of the ‘Amendment Workspace’ tab to locate a particular LoDA if the list of LoDAs gets unmanageable.
- The banner at the top of the page will display the project title (which is derived from the document's title) so it's clear which project you are viewing
- To return to the dashboard, click on the home icon in the top left on the banner
- You can filter the list of LoDAs by bill version using the bill version drop-down menu in the top left of the screen.
- It will default to the most recently published bill version for ease of use
- The document tiles are coloured green if you have edit rights and grey when you only have read-only access.
- Working versions are editable (subject to document permissions)
- Clicking on the black triangle on a working version will expand the view of any snapshot versions related to this document version series; or hide the snapshot versions
- Snapshot versions appear under the working version they relate to. By default, they are not shown but clicking on the black triangle next to the working version description will show a list of snapshot versions sorted in chronological order. They are most commonly generated automatically when users generate a pdf or download a document bundle to capture the XML at that point in time. But they can also be generated manually from the editor (see “Save a snapshot version”).
