Ann Hird (Customer) asked a question.
Is it better to copy a precedent or modify Leap precedent?

Hi @Ann Hird (Customer),
Thank you for posting on LEAP Community Discussions.
Edit an existing precedent - This is recommended in the scenario where a precedent exists, but it does not quite fit your style, and you are happy to overwrite the version in LEAP.
The benefit of editing the precedent is that:
1. You retain the full history of the original precedent, and
2. A notification is given when LEAP or By Lawyers update the precedent, allowing you to incorporate the changes into your version.
Duplicate an existing precedent - Use this when the document is similar to an existing precedent, as in the above example, but the original is still relevant in some circumstances.
The outcome of duplicating a precedent is two identical precedents. You then edit the duplicate, leaving the original intact.
It is essential to understand that Update Notifications will no longer be displayed on the duplicate when a change is made by LEAP or By Lawyers.
Let us know if you require further assistance.
Best regards,
Sebastian.
