The problem with email-based approvals

If any of these sound familiar, you need a structured review and approval workflow.

Approval buried in a thread of reply-alls

Your client's 'looks good, go ahead!' is 47 messages deep in an email thread with no attachment reference. Did they approve V3 or V4? Nobody can remember.

Feedback scattered across Slack, email, and calls

A comment came in on Teams, another via WhatsApp, and the most important note was left on a voicemail. Reassembling it before the next revision wastes hours.

No record of who approved what

A client disputes what they agreed to. You have a vague email that could be interpreted either way. No version reference, no timestamp, no named approver.

Revision rounds that never seem to end

Ambiguous feedback drives unnecessary revisions. 'The colours are off' on a phone call requires three more rounds of guessing before you land on what they actually meant.

How the review and approval workflow works

From first draft to timestamped sign-off in four steps.

01

Share a review link

Upload your file and send stakeholders a unique link. They click straight through to the review — no accounts, no software installs.

02

Stakeholders annotate on the file

Every comment is pinned to the exact location on the page, image, or video frame. Specific feedback replaces vague descriptions.

03

Address feedback and revise

Work through comments, mark each one resolved as you go, and upload your revised version to the same thread — keeping everything together.

04

Collect formal approval

When the work is ready, request sign-off. The approver clicks 'Approve' and FileFeedback records their name, the version, and the exact timestamp.

Everything in a structured approval workflow

Pinpoint annotations, version stacking, resolution tracking, and formal sign-off — all in one place.

Pinpoint annotations

Reviewers click on the exact location they want to discuss — a word on page 4 of a PDF, a region of an image, a precise video frame. Ambiguity eliminated.

Formal sign-off per version

Each version of a file can be formally approved with a click. FileFeedback records the approver's name and the timestamp — creating an unambiguous audit trail.

Version stacking

Every revision of a file lives in the same review thread. Reviewers can compare versions, and feedback is always tied to the specific version it refers to.

Comment resolution tracking

Mark feedback as resolved as you address it. Clients can see which comments are done and which are still outstanding — reducing unnecessary status check-ins.

No client login required

Approvers open a link and review in their browser. They never create an account. You never have to walk a client through another sign-up flow.

Notification emails

Reviewers are notified when a new version is ready for their input. You're notified when comments arrive or when a formal approval is submitted.

Lock threads after approval

Once approved, you can lock a review thread to prevent further changes — protecting the final agreed version from accidental modification.

PDF, image, and video support

One approval workflow for every file type. Brand decks, campaign visuals, ad videos, and packaging proofs all move through the same structured process.

Password-protected reviews

Add a password to sensitive review links — pre-release campaign assets, embargoed content, or confidential brand materials.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

Review and approval software provides a structured workflow for collecting feedback on creative work and obtaining formal sign-off. Reviewers annotate directly on the file — no more vague email descriptions — and then click 'Approve' when they're happy. The software records who approved, which version, and when.

Build an approval workflow your clients will actually use

Your clients open a link and click to annotate — no account, no training. You get specific feedback and a formal approval record in one place.
