Also, the definition provided by renshuu just seems wrong. It's got nothing to do with will or volution per se, as its own examples and the questions at times demonstrate.

It has a nuance of in "accordance with, as dictated by", implying a necessary response.

It's also more formal than e.g. につれて.

Please note there are two entries for にしたがって on this page - it sounds like you are referring to the second one ("in accordance with").

We are also working to increase the number of example sentences on renshuu so we can get a better range of how it is used.

When used with a VERB
V(dict) + にしたがって：as; accordingly; in proportion to

Ex. 日本の経済力が強くなるにしたがって、日本語学習者が増えてきた。
(As Japan's economic power has become stronger, the number of Japanese language learners has increased, accordingly.)

When used with a NOUN
N + にしたがって：in accordance with N; following N

Ex. 契約にしたがって雇用期間を三年とする。
(In accordance with the contract, your tenure shall be three years.)

Note 1: V(dict) + にしたがって is used to express that something beyond human control takes place simultaneously with something else that goes on. The verbs in both main and subordinate clauses do not express a momentary action, but a continuous process.

Note 2: In the case of N + にしたがって, Note 1 is not applicable.

Note 3: V(dict) + につれて is an expression very similar to V(dict) + にしたがって.
につれて can replace にしたがって except in the pattern N + にしたがって.

Theo .../Càng...càng...
1. Đi sau danh từ chỉ người, luật lệ, quy tắc... để cho biết hành động phía sau được thực hiện tuân theo chỉ thị của người, luật lệ, quy tắc... ấy. "Theo..."
2. Đi sau danh từ hoặc động từ thể hiện sự thay đổi để diễn tả ý: vế trước (N/V) thay đổi, vế sau (do chịu ảnh hưởng/phụ thuộc của vế trước mà) cũng thay đổi theo.
Với nét nghĩa này, trong đa số trường hợp,『にしたがって』và『につれて』có thể thay thế cho nhau, trường hợp không thay thế nhau được là do các khác biệt sau:
- 『にしたがって』thể hiện được cả thay đổi cùng chiều (như hai vế cùng tăng, hai vế cùng giảm...) và ngược chiều (như vế trước tăng, vế sau giảm...). 『につれて』chỉ thể hiện thay đổi cùng chiều.
- Vế sau của 『にしたがって』có thể dùng cấu trúc biểu lộ ý chí của người nói hoặc không. Vế sau của『につれて』không dùng cấu trúc biểu lộ ý chí của người nói.
"Càng... càng..."

What is the difference between に従って　and につれて？

につれて doesn't focus on the link between the two actions, just that they are both proceeding at the same time.
にしたがって is more specifically a response to the first action/change.

Does any wise person have example sentences of any of the following ?

- に従って would fit, but に連れて would not,

- に連れて would fit, but に従って would not,

- the meaning changes significantly depending on whether you use に従って or に連れて

Any of the above would be appreciated by this humble learner.

This answer has a good explanation with examples: https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/84593

In brief, に従って strongly implies causation between the two parts, e.g. in 練習に従って上手くなってきた。=got better with practice, I got better exactly because I practiced.

With につれて, the change can just happen together over time, e.g. in 夜になるにつれて、悲しくなってきた。=got sad as night came, it wasn't necessarily the night itself that made me sad.

Excluding the second usage of に従って (you can't say 命令につれて), I can't think of any instance where this change results in a "significant" change in meaning, but one definitely sounds more natural than the other in certain cases.

と言いました。

Thanks for the response. I have some follow up questions to make sure my understanding is correct.

If one was to say the "The price of bitcoin changes with the ebb and flow of the tides."

"潮の干満に連れてビットコインの値段が変わります"

Does this subtly suggest that the change is coincidental ? (Is this valid even though the directions of the tides changes?)

"潮の干満に従ってビットコインの値段が変わります"

Does this suggest there actually is a link between the price of bit coin and the tides ?

Thanks in advance.

In most cases, につれて and に従って are interchangable. I only answered when one can be used but not the other...

につれて can also be used where there is causation, e.g.: 需要が増すにつれて物価は上昇する。=As demand increases, prices rise. So I wouldn't say につれて suggests 'coincidental'.

As for your second sentence, since there is no clear connection between tides and Bitcoin prices, it ends up sounding very odd unlike, say, 潮の干満に従って水位が異なります。=The water level varies with the ebb and flow of the tides (and yes, you can use につれて/に従って, even if the direction changes). につれて (or とともに) work better here instead.
