🔔 Summary
The ISO Companion can now access ISO TMB and ISO Governance publications. We've made it easier to use by adding an edit-mode, improving copy-paste behaviour, integrated with My Actions in Home, and making citations easier to follow.
🚀 New Features

- Sources:

🛠️ New Content
ISO Companion now draws on information from:
- TMB Communiqués, TMB Resolutions & TMB Minutes: giving you a 'one-stop shop' for official updates, strategic decisions, and procedural records from the ISO TMB. Note ISO Companion will respond better if you can narrow its response (e.g. by quoting a resolution number or edition number)
- ISO Policy and Governance information, including:
- ISO Statutes
- ISO Rules of Procedure
- ISO Code of Ethics and Conduct
- (Most) other ISO Policy governance documents. Note that this is not yet the complete list, but covers most day to day enquiries.
