Example scenarios
You have several comments and replies in a Bill, and you want a tidy version of the Bill but you want to save a copy of the Bill with the comments before you delete the comments
You want to keep a record of a comment, but the provision/text it is attached to needs to be deleted (which will also delete the comment).
To do this, you must save a read-only version of the document. This is called taking a snapshot and is available for Bills and amendments.
To save a version of the document—
(If you haven't already, save the document first and stay in the editor).
Saving snapshots of your document
You can save a snapshot of the document you are editing at any time. This will create a copy of the document in its current state and save it as a snapshot in the document’s version history without affecting the main version of the document (i.e. the one that is saved when you press the Save button).
To save a snapshot:
In the upper toolbar, select Document>Take snapshot.
Edit the snapshot name in the Version Label field (it is set to “Saved” by default)
Click OK.
Your saved version will be listed under the main document (you may need to click on the arrow to the left of the document title to display the saved version). Below is an example of a saved version of "amendments 1".
