Managing Internal Teams and External Partners

Secure Chat and Ability to Delegate and Converse With The Right Stakeholder at the Right Time

No more checking through multiple email threads, all comments and threads are kept centralized inside the proof with real-time collaboration.

As new proof versions are uploaded, all the notes and comments get locked down on the older proofs, but they are still visible when you compare the versions. This gives you a full audit trail and allows reviewers to only ever annotate on the latest proof, avoiding mistakes.

Workflows + Proofing Allow For Clear Annotation and Review Flow Management

Annotation Flow Management is unique to Aproove Work Management and gives unparalleled granular control of your review process within a step. The viewing of annotations gets controlled by a hierarchy of groups (called Schemas). Each group contains users with different permissions and every user of the same group is able to see each others notes. 

At each step, the different reviewers access the proof applying notes and comments. Each reviewer can see the other reviewer/s notes and comments in the various review stages.
