General information

Overview

With the amendment feature, participants can propose changes to an already published proposal.

It’s useful to propose improvements or corrections, specially useful when redacting laws or normatives with Participatory Texts.

It has similarities with Collaborative Drafts, but the main difference is that with amendments there is no need to trust the other authors intentions, as every change is reviewed and must be approved by the author of the original proposal.
