Abstract

A fact replacement and style consistency tool is described. Rather than rely heavily on human involvement to replace facts and maintain consistent styles across multiple digital documents, the described change management system identifies factual and stylistic inconsistencies between these documents, in part, using natural language processing techniques. Once these inconsistencies are identified, the change management system generates a user interface that includes indications of the inconsistencies and information describing them, e.g., an indication noting not only a type of inconsistency but also presenting a first portion and at least a second portion of the multiple documents that are factually inconsistent. By automatically identifying these factual and stylistic inconsistencies across multiple documents and presenting indications of such cross-document inconsistencies, the described change management system eliminates human errors in connection with maintaining factual and stylistic consistency over a body of documents.
