Analyzing Regulatory Changes
Understanding regulatory changes is essential for legal professionals who need to ensure ongoing compliance. Laws and regulations are frequently amended, and missing even a minor update can result in costly mistakes or legal exposure. By systematically tracking amendments, you can quickly identify what has changed, assess the impact, and update your compliance strategies accordingly.

The comparison logic in the code above is straightforward: you have two lists, each representing a version of a regulation. By checking which items appear in the new list but not the old one, you find added sections. Conversely, items present in the old list but missing in the new one are removed sections. Presenting differences in this way makes it easy to see exactly what has changed, supporting clear communication and fast decision-making for compliance updates.

Can you explain how this comparison logic would handle more complex changes, like edits within a section?
What are some best practices for tracking regulatory changes over time?
Can you show how to highlight both added and removed sections in a more user-friendly format?
Mahtavaa!
