How to make Changes to the Agenda and Republishing the Board Pack

After an agenda has been published, it is still possible to make changes and republish it.

From the Meeting Details page, click on Edit Agenda.

This opens the Agenda where you can:

  • Add or delete documents

  • Add new sections or agenda items

  • Edit existing agenda items

  • Move around agenda items/ sections -when this happens, resequencing of the agenda items is automatic.

  • Delete any agenda items and sections.

When you make any changes to a published agenda, they will not be available to your board until the board pack is rebuilt.

  • BoardPro will track the changes since they were last published via the Agenda Change Log so that you can decide when (or if) republishing is necessary.

  • If you do not rebuild, the original board pack is still in "play." However, if you decide to rebuild, the old board pack will be deleted, and a new version will be created.

Updating existing documents in your pack

  • When you are uploading a new document, instead of deleting the older version in your agenda, you can upload the updated document on top of the existing document making sure to keep the same file name. So instead of deleting the attachment and uploading a new version, leave the old version attached and upload the new version with the same filename - the system will replace the old version that way and carry over any annotations. This will ensure that any annotations your board members have made against that document will be carried across to the updated version.

  • When changes are made to the board pack and annotations are present, they will be carried over into the new version automatically. The only time this does not happen is if the administrator preparing the board pack deletes a report from the pack while annotations are present on that document—there is a popup to indicate if this is the case.

After republishing, you can notify your board that it has been updated.

Auto-Republishing of the Board Pack

The board pack will automatically republish when:

  1. When there are some changes to a published agenda that are not republished. *** BoardPro triggers auto-republish after 30 minutes of the last change

  2. If there is a board pack failure
