12 What happens after 7 November...? On 7 November all content will be final. This means: the synthesis report will be subject to a time-intensive translation; the briefings lay-out will be optimsed for web and four-page pdf; no more changes to any text or figures will be possible; no more data update will be possible. If at that time the character length of any country briefing exceeds the 4-page pdf format, any exceeding text will only be seen online. The only content that will still be editable from then onwards are the country perspective pages under the cross-country comparisons.
