Court of Session Act 1988
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

32 Appeals.
(1) Where an appeal is taken to the Court from the judgment of the Sheriff Appeal Court under section 113 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 or the judgment of a sheriff principal under section 114 of that Act, the record may, with the leave of the Court, be amended at any time on such conditions as to the Court seem proper. (2) On any such appeal the Court may, if it thinks fit, remit the cause to the Sheriff Appeal Court or, as the case may be, the sheriff principal with instructions. (3) On any such appeal the Court may, if necessary, order proof or additional proof to be taken in accordance with section 37 of this Act and shall thereafter, or without any such order if no such proof or additional proof is necessary, give judgment on the merits of the cause. (4) Where such an appeal is taken to the Court from the judgment of the Sheriff Appeal Court or, as the case may be, the sheriff principal proceeding on a proof, the Court shall in giving judgment distinctly specify in its interlocutor the several facts material to the cause which it finds to be established by the proof, and express how far its judgment proceeds on the matter of facts so found, or on matter of law, and the several points of law which it means to decide. (5) The judgment of the Court on any such appeal shall be appealable to the Supreme Court only on matters of law.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
