What Redline means

A redline shows the difference between two versions of a document, traditionally with insertions underlined and deletions struck through. Lawyers send redlines to negotiate terms and to show a client what changed.

A redline can be produced with tracked changes while editing, or by comparing two finished versions.

In Consilena

Consilena produces edits as tracked changes, can compare any two versions of a document, and exports redlines as DOCX or PDF.
