This page lets you explore the way that a document is negotiated.

Along the top of this page are the events that occurred in this committee session.

If you select an event here, the display underneath will provide the following information:

On the left are lists of the current documents under consideration by the committee at this moment
and all of the amendments to these documents that have been suggested. Clicking on these will bring up
the draft text of that amendment or document, if it can be calculated, as it exists in the context of this
moment.

In the centre of the screen you can see the proposed effect of a particular
amendment or the affect of a particular vote. The tabs let you select either the agreed text of the
base document (the 'agreed text'), the text of any intermediate amendments (the 'intermediate text')
that are the parents of this one (these may or may not have been agreed) and the text suggested by the
selected proposal.

The 'Markup' display shows the difference between the intermediate text and the proposed text by showing deletions
in red highlighting with a strike-through and additions as blue highlights with underlining.

On the right, various tools let you explore the significance of this moment. The document complexity displays
show you a representation of all of the proposals and votes that have led to the document having this particular
text. You can click on them to navigate to those moments.

Resources and Commentaries allow you to explore any additional materials stored about this moment in more depth.
