3. Open the link in column D of the task list. This should open the "old", or "current" version of the country page.
4. Replace all instances of "COUNTRYNAME" with the name of the country, and replace "REGION" in the breadcrumb with the equivalent from the "old" verison of the country page.
5. Copy the information under the "Country Information" heading on the "old" page, and paste it under the "Country Information" heading (but above the code for the buttons) in the Sandbox page.
6. Copy everything under the country's map heading on the "old" page, and paste it under the "COUNTRYNAME Map" heading in the Sandbox page.
7. If the "old" page has a Jurisdictions heading under the map (a heading containing the names of any states/provinces/regions, etc.), copy and paste it on the Sandbox page directly underneath the map heading contents.
8. We will not be copying and pasting over anything under any other headings on the country page.
9. On the new Sandbox page, click "Show preview" and make sure the page looks good.
- NOTE: If you encounter anything weird or have any questions, write something in the Notes column of the task list.
10. If everything looks good, Save the page and continue to the next country page.
