Redline
Redline shows the model’s edits to a document as tracked changes, word by word. Its insertions are pigment; the words it would remove are struck through in ink, because a person wrote them. Each change carries its reason, and is accepted or rejected in place.
The model proposed five changes to a break clause. Tap one to see why it made it. Accept the six-month notice and reject the plain-English rewording: accepted words stay in still pigment, rejected ones disappear.
Anatomy
When to use
Behaviour
| State | Inserted words | Removed words |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Flowing pigment, underlined | Struck through in ink |
| Accepted | Still pigment | Gone |
| Rejected | Gone | Back to plain ink |
Accepted words never turn to ink. Months later, the clause still shows which words the model wrote.
Best practices
- Keep each change small: a word or a phrase, not a rewritten paragraph.
- Give every change a reason with a source: “Matches the six-month notice in clause 4.2.”
- Let people step through open changes in order, with next and previous.
- Offer accept all, but never accept anything on the person’s behalf.
Accessibility
- Each change is a button named for what it does: “Change 3: replace ‘three’ with ‘six’”.
- Inserted and removed words differ by strike-through and order, not only by colour.
- Deciding a change announces the result and how many are left.
