Summary

During a demo of the LSS bridging function, staff asked for explicit warnings and printable lists when inserted code sections contain insertions or deletions (the demo showed 'seashell' markers), so attorneys can review technical changes before accepting them.

Staff demonstrated how the system indicates insertions and deletions when bridging code sections from their legacy FoxPro system and requested a clearer, actionable warning that lists affected code sections. Ethan showed a pop-up that warns about insertions; the staff asked for a way to print or export that list instead of writing numbers on sticky notes.

Developers confirmed the system flags 'insertions' and 'deletions' and will show that in a pop-up; staff asked that the pop-up include an option to print or download the list of affected code sections and to label printed drafts consistently (e.g., 'official version' when typists accept changes). "It brings up a new window, which is really weird looking... I will pull out a sticky, and I will write down 9313," one staffer said while testing a bridge.
