|} | |} | ||
− | === | + | ===Important considerations=== |
+ | Before you commit yourself to carrying out your amendment, make sure that you have considered all the factors that will influence how you carry it out. | ||
− | + | The [[Effects_Spreadsheet|effects spreadsheet]] that you [[Editorial_Update/Starting_Update_Tasks#Downloading_the_Effects_Spreadsheet|download at the start of the update task]] contains all the information that was recorded for the effect you are applying. You should [[Editorial_Update/Update_Editor_Checklist#Check_the_TOES_data_for_your_amendment|check the TOES data for your amendment]] before you start. In particular, check the [[Effects_Spreadsheet#Comments_for_Editor|Comments for Editor]] to see if there is anything unusual about the effect that you need to be aware of, or if the amendment text contains power. Also look at the commencement details of the affecting document and look at the affecting provision itself. | |
+ | |||
+ | Questions to consider: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <blockquote>Is the effect wholly in force or partially in force? Is it whole or [[Editorial_Update/Textual_Amendments/Insertions/Provision_Level_Insertions#Limited_Extent_Amendments|limited extent]]? Has your affecting provision itself been amended by an [[Editorial_Update/Amendment_to_Earlier_Affecting_Provision|amendment to earlier affecting provision]] effect? Is there an [[Effects_Spreadsheet#Appended_Commentary|appended commentary]] for the effect? Is your effect a knock-on effect? Does your inserted text [[Editorial_Update/XMetaL_and_XML_tagging#ConfersPower_Attribute|contain power]]? Are there any savings or transitional provisions?</blockquote> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The answers to these questions will inform how you carry out the amendment, whether you need to amend any of the [[Editorial_Update/XMetaL_and_XML_tagging#Attribute_Inspector|attributes]] of the provision you are amending, also what the [[Editorial_Update/Annotation_Conventions|annotation]] that the Editorial System generates will look like and whether there are any amendments you might need to make to this annotation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the [[Editorial_Update/Update_Editor_Checklist#Check_the_TOES_data_for_your_amendment|Update Editor Checklist]] to make sure that you have researched everything you need to before you carry out your amendment and refer back to it throughout the task, particularly when you [[Editorial_Update/Update_Editor_Checklist#XMetaL:_making_sure_that_the_amendment_is_applied_correctly|check the amendment in XMetaL]] and [[Editorial_Update/Update_Editor_Checklist#Preview:_double_check_the_point_in_time_.28PiT.29.2C_amendment_and_annotation_before_moving_on|preview your amendment]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following pages also give useful guidance that will help if you are not sure how carry out your amendment: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *[[Editorial_Update/Annotation_Conventions | Annotation Conventions]] | ||
+ | *[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#APPROACH_TO_UPDATE_-_SOME_BASIC_RULES_AND_EXCEPTIONS|Approach to Update - Some Basic Rules and Exceptions]] | ||
+ | *[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#SPECIFIC_UPDATE_ISSUES|Specific Update Issues]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Limited extent amendments==== | ||
+ | The Editorial System flags possible limited extent amendments with the following message: | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[File: Limited_extent_warning_message_2.png|900px]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | The extent of the affected and affecting provision is highlighted in red. You can also view the extent/TA in the effects spreadsheet that [[Editorial_Update/Starting_Update_Tasks#Downloading_the_Effects_Spreadsheet|can be downloaded from the Starting Update Page]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To decide whether or not you need to [[Editorial_Update/Limited_Extent_Amendments#Limited_extent_amendment_options_in_XMetaL|carry out your amendment using the limited extent amendment option in XMetaL]], follow the decision-making process described in the [[Editorial_Update/Limited_Extent_Amendments#Decision_tree_for_deciding_what_is_a_limited_extent_amendment|Decision tree for deciding what is a limited extent amendment]] on the [[Editorial_Update/Limited_Extent_Amendments|Limited Extent Amendments]] page, where you <strong>may</strong> also need to [[Editorial_Update/Limited_Extent_Amendments#Decision_tree_for_deciding_whether_or_not_to_create_concurrent_versions_for_a_limited_extent_amendment|consider creating a concurrent version]] of the provision (and subsequently carrying out the amendment fully in the relevant version of the provision). | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may find that your amendment has already been carried out as a limited extent amendment for another jurisdiction, in which case you will need to follow the guidance on [[Editorial_Update/Limited_Extent_Amendments#Updating_an_existing_limited_extent_amendment_when_an_identical_amendment_is_applied_for_another_jurisdiction|Updating an existing limited extent amendment when an identical amendment is applied for another jurisdiction]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If, after making all the considerations outlined above, you decide that the amendment is indeed a limited extent amendment, when you get to Step Two, follow the method outlined in Step Two – limited extent (the other steps remain the same). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Partially in force amendments==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Amendments are not always brought wholly into force at once, frequently they are brought into force gradually over two or more points in time (PiTs). This is described in more detail in the section on [[Editorial_Update/Applying_partially_in_force_amendments_which_are_then_brought_further_into_force_over_time#Partially_in_force_amendments|Partially in force amendments]] on the [[Editorial_Update/Applying_partially_in_force_amendments_which_are_then_brought_further_into_force_over_time|Applying partially in force amendments which are then brought further into force over time]] page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If an insertion has been brought into force for specified purposes only, the commencement detail “for specified purposes” will get added after the in force date when the annotation is generated. The insertion of a word(s) or a sub-provision(s) is carried out in the same way as a wholly in force insertion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the examples in the Overview: [[Editorial_Update/Textual_Amendments/Insertions/Provision_Level_Insertions#Whole_extent_-_partially_in_force|Insertion of words - whole extent - partially in force]] and [[Editorial_Update/Textual_Amendments/Insertions/Provision_Level_Insertions#Whole_extent_-_partially_in_force_2|Insertion of a sub-provision - whole extent - partially in force]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To read more about how partially in force amendments get brought further into force over time, see [[Editorial_Update/Applying_partially_in_force_amendments_which_are_then_brought_further_into_force_over_time#What_happens_when_an_amendment_comes_further.2C_or_fully_into_force.3F|What happens when an amendment comes further, or fully into force?]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Update process=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In these instructions, the update process has been broken down into four steps, Steps 1-3 are carried out in XMetaL and Step 4 on the Editorial site after check-in. Steps 1 and 2 are explained separately for insertions of words and sub-provisions (and Step 2 is further subdivided into whole extent (wholly in force or partially in force) and limited extent). The checks made in Steps 3 and 4 are the same, whichever route you take to get there. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Carrying out and checking the amendment in XMetaL: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step One - preparing to carry out the amendment in XMetaL | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step Two - selecting the correct XMetaL Legislation menu option to carry out the amendment | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step Three - checking the amendment in XMetaL | ||
+ | |||
+ | Checking the amendment in the Editorial System: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Step Four - preview the amendment from the Update Details page | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Things to remember==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The <strong>[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#SPECIFIC_UPDATE_ISSUES|Specific Update Issues]]</strong> guidance includes some <strong>[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#Editorial_Update_-_some_general_reminders|general Editorial Update reminders]]</strong> to be aware of before you carry out your amendment. Also included is information on <strong>[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#Presentation_of_Revised_Legislation|how amendments are presented]]</strong>. Note, in particular, there may be <strong>[[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#.E2.80.98Tidying_up.E2.80.99_amendment_text:_fixing_incorrectly_tagged_amending_provisions_and_removing_unwanted_tagging|tagging that may need to be removed from amendment text]]</strong>, to prevent formatting errors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | See also the advice on how to [[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#Approach_to_.E2.80.98awkward.E2.80.99_amendments|approach more unusual types of amendment]], and [[Editorial_Update/Approach_to_Update,_Specific_Update_Issues_and_Update_Troubleshooting#APPROACH_TO_UPDATE_-_SOME_BASIC_RULES_AND_EXCEPTIONS|Approach to Update - Some Basic Rules and Exceptions]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Carrying out an insertion of words in XMetaL==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The amendment of the data is carried out in XMetaL and the instructions that follow assume that you have checked out the relevant provision that is to be amended, that you have set up your [[Editorial_Update/Starting_Update_Tasks#Setting_up_your_XMetaL_workspace|XMetaL workspace]], and that you are now ready to carry out the amendment. For guidance on the steps required to reach this point, see [[Editorial_Update/Starting_Update_Tasks|Starting Update Tasks]]. | ||

OVERVIEW
Related reading: Approach to Update - Some Basic Rules and Exceptions, Specific Update Issues |
Insertions of words and insertions of sub-provisions are carried out at provision level. Insertions of whole provisions need to be done at the parent level and are described on the Higher Level Insertions page.
The Overview section gives examples of what these amendments look like on the website.

IN MORE DETAIL
Important considerations
Before you commit yourself to carrying out your amendment, make sure that you have considered all the factors that will influence how you carry it out.
The effects spreadsheet that you download at the start of the update task contains all the information that was recorded for the effect you are applying. You should check the TOES data for your amendment before you start. In particular, check the Comments for Editor to see if there is anything unusual about the effect that you need to be aware of, or if the amendment text contains power. Also look at the commencement details of the affecting document and look at the affecting provision itself.
Questions to consider:
Is the effect wholly in force or partially in force? Is it whole or limited extent? Has your affecting provision itself been amended by an amendment to earlier affecting provision effect? Is there an appended commentary for the effect? Is your effect a knock-on effect? Does your inserted text contain power? Are there any savings or transitional provisions?
The answers to these questions will inform how you carry out the amendment, whether you need to amend any of the attributes of the provision you are amending, also what the annotation that the Editorial System generates will look like and whether there are any amendments you might need to make to this annotation.
Use the Update Editor Checklist to make sure that you have researched everything you need to before you carry out your amendment and refer back to it throughout the task, particularly when you check the amendment in XMetaL and preview your amendment.
The following pages also give useful guidance that will help if you are not sure how carry out your amendment:
Limited extent amendments
The Editorial System flags possible limited extent amendments with the following message:
The extent of the affected and affecting provision is highlighted in red. You can also view the extent/TA in the effects spreadsheet that can be downloaded from the Starting Update Page.
To decide whether or not you need to carry out your amendment using the limited extent amendment option in XMetaL, follow the decision-making process described in the Decision tree for deciding what is a limited extent amendment on the Limited Extent Amendments page, where you may also need to consider creating a concurrent version of the provision (and subsequently carrying out the amendment fully in the relevant version of the provision).
You may find that your amendment has already been carried out as a limited extent amendment for another jurisdiction, in which case you will need to follow the guidance on Updating an existing limited extent amendment when an identical amendment is applied for another jurisdiction.
If, after making all the considerations outlined above, you decide that the amendment is indeed a limited extent amendment, when you get to Step Two, follow the method outlined in Step Two – limited extent (the other steps remain the same).
Partially in force amendments
Amendments are not always brought wholly into force at once, frequently they are brought into force gradually over two or more points in time (PiTs). This is described in more detail in the section on Partially in force amendments on the Applying partially in force amendments which are then brought further into force over time page.
If an insertion has been brought into force for specified purposes only, the commencement detail “for specified purposes” will get added after the in force date when the annotation is generated. The insertion of a word(s) or a sub-provision(s) is carried out in the same way as a wholly in force insertion.
See the examples in the Overview: Insertion of words - whole extent - partially in force and Insertion of a sub-provision - whole extent - partially in force.
To read more about how partially in force amendments get brought further into force over time, see What happens when an amendment comes further, or fully into force?.
Update process
In these instructions, the update process has been broken down into four steps, Steps 1-3 are carried out in XMetaL and Step 4 on the Editorial site after check-in. Steps 1 and 2 are explained separately for insertions of words and sub-provisions (and Step 2 is further subdivided into whole extent (wholly in force or partially in force) and limited extent). The checks made in Steps 3 and 4 are the same, whichever route you take to get there.
Carrying out and checking the amendment in XMetaL:
Step One - preparing to carry out the amendment in XMetaL
Step Two - selecting the correct XMetaL Legislation menu option to carry out the amendment
Step Three - checking the amendment in XMetaL
Checking the amendment in the Editorial System:
Step Four - preview the amendment from the Update Details page
Things to remember
The Specific Update Issues guidance includes some general Editorial Update reminders to be aware of before you carry out your amendment. Also included is information on how amendments are presented. Note, in particular, there may be tagging that may need to be removed from amendment text, to prevent formatting errors.
See also the advice on how to approach more unusual types of amendment, and Approach to Update - Some Basic Rules and Exceptions.
Carrying out an insertion of words in XMetaL
The amendment of the data is carried out in XMetaL and the instructions that follow assume that you have checked out the relevant provision that is to be amended, that you have set up your XMetaL workspace, and that you are now ready to carry out the amendment. For guidance on the steps required to reach this point, see Starting Update Tasks.
Step One
|
Whole extent
Step Two - whole extent (wholly or partially in force)
Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three), followed by the final task of previewing the amendment from the Update Details page (Step Four).
|
Limited extent
Step Two - limited extent
Before continuing, make sure you have read the section on Limited Extent Amendments above. On the menu bar at the top of the page select Legislation - Textual Amendments - Limited Extent Addition. In the pop-up 'XMetaL Author Essential', check the Extent entered is correct and click OK. This will:
Words in art. 7(2) inserted (E.W.S.) (6.4.2017) by The Social Security (Restrictions on Amounts for Children and Qualifying Young Persons) Amendment Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/376), regs. 1, 4
Once the amendment has been made, the cursor will be situated at the point the automatic annotation was inserted in the amended provision window. Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three), followed by the final task of previewing the amendment from the Update Details page (Step Four). |
Carrying out an insertion of a sub-provision in XMetaL
If you need to insert a whole provision, follow the instructions for Higher Level Insertions.
The amendment of the data is carried out in XMetaL and the instructions that follow assume that you have checked out the relevant provision that is to be amended, that you have set up your XMetaL workspace, and that you are now ready to carry out the amendment. For guidance on the steps required to reach this point, see Starting Update Tasks.
Step One
Your next action will be determined by whether the amendment covers the whole extent and is either wholly in force or partially in force, or is for a limited extent, consequently Step Two is described separately for each scenario. |
Whole extent
Step Two - whole extent (wholly or partially in force)
On the menu bar at the top of the page select Legislation - Textual Amendments - Addition: This will:

Limited extent
Step Two - limited extent
Before continuing, make sure you have read the section on Limited Extent Amendments above. On the menu bar at the top of the page select Legislation - Textual Amendments - Limited Extent Addition. In the pop-up 'XMetaL Author Essential', check the Extent entered is correct and click OK; this will:
Once the amendment has been made, the cursor will be situated at the point the automatic annotation was inserted in the amended provision window. Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three), followed by the final task of previewing the amendment from the Update Details page (Step Four). |
Inserting a sub-provision and word
Amending provision:
You will not be able to insert this in one go, you will need to insert the sub-provision and the word separately, because the word needs to be inserted into the tagging at the end of the previous sub-provision (without bringing in the surrounding tagging such as the ukl:P3para
and ukl:Text
tags in this example):
1. Carry out the insertion of the sub-provision, as described in Steps One and Two above (selecting the whole extent (wholly in force or in force for specified purposes only) or limited extent method as appropriate).
2. Make sure that the annotation includes the words “and word” after the amended provision.
3. Insert the word at the end of the preceding provision (you can just copy and paste it from the amending provision).
4. Move the opening brackets for the insertion of the sub-provision to come just before the inserted word.
See the completed amendment: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/anaw/2016/6/section/45
Your next task will be to check the amendment in XMetaL (Step Three), followed by the final task of previewing the amendment from the Update Details page (Step Four).
