\note is already reserved. Thus, in order to make it work, I needed to change the style file, so that it accepts \Note for this. However, this is not nice and also causes confusion about whether to use \note or \Note.

I am using the following packages:
\usepackage{llncsdoc}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{caption}

\usepackage{ae}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{listings}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\usepackage[margins, final]{trackchanges}

Maybe it is in the hyperref package (not tested).

    There is a high potential for some of the TrackChanges commands to interfere with other packages given the generic names of the commands. I would be especially worried \note, \add and \remove. It might make sense to make a compatibility mode option. With compatibility mode the commands would be something like \tcNote \tcAdd \tcRemove \tcAnnote \tcChange. This should solve compatibility issues while still allowing the simple commands to be used in most cases.

    setting up this compatibility mode (i.e., namespaces) will surely help

    I think, I'm not in charge of this, right?

    Well if you feel like giving it a shot that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll eventually get to it.

    I don't think this would be very hard to do. Just rename all the commands to the compatibility name, then add an option, and if the option is not set use the \let command to make the normal names aliases to the compatible names.
