Under Ordinals, percentiles were added as written in figures.

• Percentiles: 25th percentile

Under Drafting, the following guidance was added: 
Paragraph numbers, not page or section numbers, are used to indicate the place of a correction unless the original document, or the section to be corrected, has no paragraph numbers; if the correction is to a footnote, only the footnote number needs to be cited

The footnote example was renumbered from 10 to 7

The entries: sociobiology, sociocultural, **sociodemographic, ***socioeconomic, *sociomedical and sociopolitical
were replaced with:
socio: compound forms are closed

In the case of the General Assembly, the reference is to an item of the preliminary list, or an item of the provisional agenda, or an item of the agenda as adopted at the start of the session. A footnote reference is provided for the preliminary list and the provisional agenda; there is no footnote for the annotated preliminary list or the adopted agenda, including any addenda 

RSCE: Regional Service Centre in Entebbe, Uganda
UNLB: United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi, Italy 

For revised versions of reports, rules of procedure and provisional agendas, among others, “revised” is not added to the title; the use of “Rev.” in the symbol is sufficient to indicate that the document has been revised. The word “revised” should, however, be included in the title of a revised draft resolution.

A new example was added under IV. Outside sources, E. Legal references

However, in summary records, the verb is always changed from the present to the past:

Indigenous should be capitalized when referring to cultures, communities, lands, languages, etc., of Indigenous Peoples, e.g.: Indigenous culture in Ecuador, Indigenous languages are dying out. If referring to flora or fauna, lower case should be used.

When they are used, abbreviations and acronyms should always be explained. The name or title should be written out in full the first time it occurs in the main body of a document, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviation may be used in footnotes, figures, tables and boxes. If an abbreviation or acronym first appears in a footnote, figure, table or box, it should be written out in full again the first time it is used in the main body of the document.

Alternatively, if a document contains numerous abbreviations and acronyms, a list may be included after the table of contents or at the end of the document if there is no table of contents. A list of abbreviations and acronyms applies to the main document and to any annexes or attachments to it.
