When you need this

Round two on a new base

Counterparty returns with a refreshed draft that has their own changes baked in. Keep your edits from round one without re-redlining each provision.

Template switch mid-deal

They move to their paper or legal ops rolls a new internal template. Carry the negotiated deltas onto the new base and pick up where you left off.

Preserve the record

Keep the negotiation history intact across rounds, so what was accepted, rejected, and modified stays traceable.

Why deletions matter

Carrying forward a negotiated position is not just a productivity problem. When a contract goes to dispute, courts in commercial jurisdictions — Delaware in particular — routinely look at drafting history to interpret ambiguous provisions. Delaware Chancery has said that the drafting history of a disputed provision can be "especially revealing," and has relied on what earlier drafts struck out to understand what the parties meant by the language that remained.

That is the risk in re-redlining by hand across rounds: not that you will type the wrong thing, but that deliberate negotiation decisions get quietly undone between drafts and nobody notices until someone reads the file in a dispute.
