Uploading comment file to OSD: formatting rules

In most cases, it is strongly recommended to use the native commenting functionality in OSD, rather than commenting by file upload.

This article is linked to from the other pages which include guidance on the related comment file uploading.

Restrictions to consider:

• no line numbers in the PDF preview

• no tables and no graphics should be used

• track changes not possible

• some special formatting (such as strikethrough text) is not supported

• use of underline will be lost on import

• indication of multi clauses is also not supported

• format for fields needs to be correct, e.g. type of comment needs be “te” for technical (not “T” or another format), “ge” for general, and “ed” for editorial.

Use the following label to add a comment on the targeted section:  

• Foreword

• Introduction

• 1

• 1.1

• Annex 1

• Bibliography.

Uploading a file with unsupported content/formatting should return error messages (see 1.2.5 below).
