How to submit using the Amendment Manager

One way to submit amendments in Lawmaker is by using the Amendment Manager (another way is to submit the list from the editor).

Before you select the amendments to submit, filter your amendments to minimise any errors when selecting.

Note, amendments that are flagged or where the status is set to “on hold” cannot be submitted. They will need to be unflagged or the status set back to “draft” before they can be submitted.

How to flag and unflag amendments

1. Go to the Amendment Manager tab

2. Click on a flag icon on the left-hand side of an amendment to flag it.

The selected amendment will be highlighted yellow in the list when the flag is on. To remove the flag, simply click on the flag icon again.
