What it means for a UK law firm
Redlining is how negotiated documents move between parties in most transactions. A redline shows every change against the previous version, so both sides can see what is being proposed; changes made without tracking can lead to disputes about what was agreed.
Redlining matters when AI suggests amendments. Inserting AI suggestions as tracked changes keeps them visible, so the solicitor can accept, reject or reword each one before the draft goes to the other side.
Example
Illustrative scenario
An AI review suggests a narrower definition of Confidential Information. The solicitor inserts it as a tracked change, adds an internal comment explaining the reason, and removes the comment before sending the redline to the other side.
How Chancery handles it
In Chancery for Word, each finding explains the issue, recommends a fix and highlights the text it refers to. You can apply the fix as a tracked change or add it as a comment; see Chancery for Word.
