Recording outcomes against ping pong motions (incl. republishing on the website)

After debate, the outcomes need to be recorded against each motion. It’s possible to do this via a temporary list or by editing the latest Marshalled List. The process for recording the outcomes is the same for both approaches. Once you have recorded outcomes, you will need to republish the ping pong motions in order for the website to reflect the changes.
