Once Cascade has run an analysis on a change, the final step is to work through the affected locations it has surfaced and make any amendments needed to keep the document consistent.
Opening an affected location
From the list of affected locations in the Cascade panel, you can open any item to see why Cascade has flagged it. There are two ways to do this:
Use the arrows on the right-hand side of the row, or
Click directly on the row itself.
Either approach opens the detail view for that location.
Reviewing the detail
When you open an affected location, for example, the Permitted Security definition, you'll see:
A detailed explanation at the top of the box of why that definition needs to be reviewed and how it's been impacted by the original change.
The affected text in the bottom half of the box, which you can scroll through to read in full.
If you'd rather review the affected location in the document itself, click the Go To arrow to jump straight to it in Word.
Amending in context
When you're ready to make changes, click the Amend button. Similar to the amend functionality in Definely Draft/Definely Read, this opens a split-screen view:
The top half stays on the section you're working on, so you keep the context of the original change in view.
The bottom half is where you make your amendments to the affected location.
Use Cascade's explanation in the side panel as your guide. It tells you why the affected text has been flagged and what corresponding changes may be required.
A note on how Cascade works: Cascade doesn't rewrite the text for you. Instead, it gives you all the context you need to apply your own expert judgement and make informed updates, keeping you fully in control of the final wording.
Closing the split screen
Once you're happy with the amendment, click Remove Split to close the split-screen view and return to the main panel.
Working through the full list
Once you've actioned one affected location, you can work your way through the rest of the list in the same way. As you make changes:
Refresh Cascade to pick up your most recent edits.
Use the Home button to return to the main view and check your changes within the document.
This makes sure the document stays consistent as you work through each impact, and that any new edits don't introduce further knock-on effects of their own.
