Deleting, viewing and restoring deleted amendments

Introduction

You can delete ‘Draft' or ‘On hold' amendments which will remove their from the 'All Amendments’ view on the Amendment Manager and can be a useful way of managing amendments if you have lots of draft amendments that didn’t go anywhere or were created in error.

How to delete amendments

1. From the Amendment Manager tab, select the draft or ‘on hold’ amendments you want to delete

2. Select Amendment Actions > Delete amendments

3. Check the amendments that will be deleted in the confirmation message

4. Click on Delete

• Deleted amendments will disappear from the list on the Amendment Manager as the default view is to hide all deleted amendments.

• You can find deleted amendments again by selecting Quick Filter: Deleted amendments.

• Amendments are not irreversibly deleted - it is only a status which can be removed using the ‘Restore deleted amendments’ option.

How to view deleted amendments
