Overview

There is a slight difference between how a standard document and a modification document can be edited. A modification document has two paragraph types that are created in the following order:

• Paragraphs from the original document in its last released version;
• Paragraphs created directly in the modification.

In the first instance, paragraphs can only be edited, so they cannot be created, deleted or moved through the modification itself, but only through syncs of the original document. Reset functionality allows any edits made to this type of paragraph to be reset and have a clean restart in editing any particular original paragraph.

In the second instance, paragraphs can be created, edited, deleted and moved like in any other standard document.
