This article describes the process of updating an existing stylesheet with new styles, to enable users to configure how the ‘Detailed revision’ function in Chorus appears in a published specification.

When you publish with detailed revisions, Chorus highlights added and deleted text from your previous version. Chorus uses styles to format the revised text in the final document. This article explains adding the 'Detailed revision' styles to existing stylesheets.

You should follow this guide if you have an existing stylesheet(s) based on an NBS Default stylesheet from June 2023 or older and want to publish with detailed revisions. Please ignore this guidance if you are customizing the NBS Default stylesheet dated July 2023 or newer: it already contains the detailed revision styles.

Please note: 'Detailed revisions' are available with 'Chorus Premium'.

Uploading and managing stylesheets is restricted to Organization administrators.

Run the Macro to update your existing stylesheet

We have provided a Macro. When run on an existing stylesheet, the macro will copy the detailed revision styles into your stylesheet. It will check for existing styles with the same name and skip over them.

This is what it does:

• Reads in an array of Chorus names to check.
• Reads the open document for style names. It will skip that style if it finds one with a matching name.
• If the Chorus name does not match, it adds the style to the document.

Importing the macro

Open the VBA editor and “import” the file you downloaded from this article.
Note: It may require a few seconds to run.
