Amendments

Com o recurso da emenda, os participantes podem propor alterações a uma proposta já publicada.

É útil propor melhorias ou correções, especialmente úteis ao redigir leis ou normas com Texto Participativo.

Ele tem semelhanças com Rascunhos colaborativos, mas a principal diferença é que com emendas não há necessidade de confiar nas intenções dos outros autores como cada mudança é revisada e deve ser aprovado pelo autor da proposta original.
