How do I update the long title in a Bill or Act?

The long title appears in the Preface of the Bill or Act and it also appears on the back cover if there is one. In Scottish Bills, the long title is pre-populated by default when first created with the text “An Act of the Scottish Parliament to”.

To edit the long title, update the text in the Long title element in the Preface of the Bill or Act in the Editor. The version on the back cover will update automatically.
