On March 11, 2019, EDGAR Release 19.1 was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This release contains expanded support for Inline XBRL, support for the 2019 taxonomies and changes to a number of EDGAR XML forms, including ABS-EE, the Regulation A forms, Form MA, Form N-CEN and the N-PORT forms.
XBRL and Inline XBRL
The list of submissions that allow the primary document to be in Inline XBRL format has
been expanded to include the following form types:
- S-1, S-1/A, S-1MEF
- S-3, S-3/A, S-3ASR, S-3D, S-3DPOS, S-3MEF
- S-4, S-4/A, S-4EF, S-4MEF, S-4 POS
- S-11, S-11/A, S-11MEF
- F-1, F-1/A, F-1MEF
- F-3, F-3/A, F-3ASR, F-3D, F-3DPOS, F-3MEF
- F-4, F-4/A, F-4EF, F-4MEF, F-4 POS
- F-10, F-10/A, F-10EF, F-10POS
- 485APOS, 485BPOS
- 485BXT
- 497
- N-1A, N-1A/A
The following additional changes were made to accommodate Inline XBRL:
- Tagged content can now appear in more than one Inline XBRL formatted attachment on a single submission.
- EX-100 Voluntary XBRL attachments are no longer allowed for EDGAR submissions.
- Section 6.13 of the "EDGAR Filer Manual,Volume II: EDGAR Filing" relaxes certain rendering requirements and related validation for mutual fund prospectus risk/return summaries that are formatted in Inline XBRL. Filers are not required to reproduce the layout, ordering, and formatting of each Filing Summary using custom linkbases and text blocks with "embedded" tables. Validation errors that would otherwise be produced related to the display of numbers in bar charts and other rendering-related requirements are relaxed. Note these validation simplifications do not apply to submissions without Inline XBRL.
EDGAR was also updated to support the the US GAAP 2019, 2019 Exchange, 2019 Currency, and SRT
2019 taxonomies for both Inline XBRL and XBRL.
