Abstract
We review recent developments concerning the soft factorization of scattering amplitudes that arise in the large radius limit of four dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS$_4$) spacetimes. This includes the presence of AdS radius dependent corrections of known flat spacetime soft factors and their implication on the relationship between soft theorems and Ward identities of the boundary conformal field theory.
