Applying Amendments
When an article is amended or substituted, use the words modifié par
Where an article is repealed, use the words abrogé par
When an article is inserted or added use the words ajouté par
Constructing the annotation
In French language, use of du, de la and de l' depends on what the amending work is. This is a sample of which to of these to use:
Example of Loi with Amendments and several points in time: Loi Portant Code de la Nationalité Ivoirienne, 1961 https://edit.laws.africa/works/akn/ci/act/1961/415/
The word (nouveau) is added in brackets to the article after the number to indicate that an entire article was substituted.
The annotation is placed below the article number and above the text.

Edit mode ↓
There a new bis provision bis inserted or added, do not add the word (nouveau) after bis in the Article heading. eg:
Where an article is amended, or substituted several times, create separate annotations for each amendment, each on a new line. Use the verb Modifié
Example of annotation with multiple amendments applied:

In Edit mode ↓
When an entire Title (Titre) is repealed which includes Chapters, Sections and Articles, remove these from the work, leave in the Title heading and put one consolidated annotation under the Title. Do not use *** for repealed provisions. eg. See Titre VI in this work https://edit.laws.africa/documents/19529
When there are no Titles (Titres) and an entire Chapter (Chapitre) is repealed which includes Sections and Articles, remove these from the work, leave in the Chapter heading and put one consolidated annotation under the Chapter. Do not use *** for repealed provisions.
eg. See Chapters 2 -5 in this work https://edit.laws.africa/documents/19721
When an entire Chapter (Chapitre) containing articles is inserted use the verb ajouté and insert one annotation under the Chapter title; do not add annotations under each article.
eg. Chaptire 1 and 2, in Livre V of this work https://edit.laws.africa/documents/19851/
Please read the section on How to insert an automatically created annotation in the Laws.Africa Editor Guide
