Short Explanation
Several ordinance chats for one hearing? Scoop them into one notebook. It’s like putting all the exhibit tabs for the same case into a single binder.
Full Explanation
Hearing packets depend on assembling related ordinance analysis in one place. When a zoning researcher has run several ordinance-comparison Copilot chats, the correct step is to add those related conversations into one notebook for the hearing packet. Grouping comparison threads with packet materials makes cross-ordinance findings reviewable together for counsel, planners, and commissioners preparing municipal hearing materials.
Keeping each comparison chat isolated and never associating them in a notebook fails packet assembly because reviewers cannot traverse related comparisons as a set. Deleting all but the shortest chat fails completeness: useful longer comparisons are lost, leaving an orphan thread that underrepresents the research. Renaming every chat “Misc” without a notebook fails discoverability—generic titles plus isolation force packet reviewers to reconstruct comparisons manually.
Exam caveat: a notebook of comparison chats supports preparation; it is not itself the official hearing exhibit set unless local procedure says so. Final packet contents still need attorney or clerk review for what is filed or presented.
Operational check: add each ordinance-comparison Copilot chat to the hearing-packet notebook, confirm all intended threads appear there, open them from the notebook during a dry-run packet review, and remove any unrelated chats that do not belong in that hearing’s working set.
