(The text in these examples is from the Wikipedia article on the diff utility.) What this looks like in practice is a diff (similar to a redline) shown within a version control application. There’s no “ track changes,” and you don’t “run a redline.” Instead, comparisons are essentially already done, all the time. In software development, comparing one version of a file to another generally is not a separate step in a working process. ![]() ![]() Like lawyers, software developers routinely compare different versions of text (source code, not legal documents) as they work-but the way software developers typically go about this is very different, and arguably better, than the way lawyers typically go about this. When you work with text, as you certainly do in law, you often need to be able to compare one text to another easily and quickly.
