Reading the regulation
Open the Annotated text from the home page. The left-hand contents lists chapters and sections: click to expand or collapse, and the dot next to an article shows the commentary status (gold = published, amber ring = in public review).
Switch language in the header and you stay at the same provision. Light and dark mode and font-size controls are available; every provision also has its own page with a permanent link.
Applicability labels: what applies, and since when
The AI Act enters into application in stages, and the Digital Omnibus amendment moved some of the dates. The label in the top-right corner of each article shows: a green dot = the article applies (since the date shown), a clock = it applies in the future, an amber hourglass = the date was deferred by the amendment.
The layers icon marks multiple temporal regimes (for instance different dates for Annex III and Annex I). The Ω badge marks articles whose text the amendment substantively changes.
Click the label for detail: the original date struck through, the new date, the regime breakdown and the amendment's legal status. Until publication in the Official Journal the amendment is not law — and the labels say so honestly.
