Staff debate insert visibility, 'available' status and chamber-specific request IDs
Summary
Attendees debated whether inserts should be visible while being drafted and requested clearer, chamber-specific request IDs for typist/draft tracking. Presenters said insert status can be permissioned and suggested a confidential/available flag.
Staff discussed the insert workflow: inserts can be saved as 'drafting' (private) or set to 'available' for others to pull into drafts. One attendee asked, "So, for this purpose, are we saying when we create the insert, it's still my insert and only Kelsey can access it unless, like, I sent it somewhere else?" noting concern about privacy vs. collaboration.
The presenter said availability is permission-based and chamber-scoped; attendees requested a richer status model (for example "confidential available") and the ability to toggle availability without creating duplicates. Staff also asked that request IDs and footers show chamber-specific prefixes (H vs. S) and typist/drafting initials in the dataset so users can track versions consistently.
