# Versions and amendments

## **Versions**

Legislation that has been amended will have a **Versions** tab. Clicking this tab will give you access to a list of the amended versions, with the most recent on top.

Where available, when you click **View changes**, a side-to-side comparison of versions will appear. Changes will be highlighted in red on the left-hand screen and green on the right. Deleted text will be stricken-through and red. Any text that has been subsequently added will be highlighted in a darker shade of green.

You can also see the previous versions by clicking **Historical version** to the right of the link.

## **Amendments**

When vLex does not currently have a consolidated version of a piece of legislation, the page could display an alert at the top of the screen to let you know that the legislation has been modified. To see these modifications, go to **Amendments**.

![Amendments tab](/files/-McQlywEEa-bfFWbJdr7)

The tab will show two options on the left: 

* **Amending items**: shown by year from the most recent. This link will display a list of the documents that have modified the current version.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.vlex.com/document-types/legislation/versions-and-amendments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
