    Overview

    Approval Studio is a client-oriented proofing tool that lets you effortlessly review designs and collaborate with your team.

    Approval Studio is packed with features to help you collect client feedback and get your designs approved faster.

    Organize your projects on a customizable kanban board with stages like "Initiated," "Under Review," or "Approved,” so nothing slips through the cracks.

    You’ll be able to invite external users and clients to review your design with a simple link—no need to worry about complicated registrations or downloads.

    That means you can do things like request files from clients to be uploaded right from the platform!

    Manage your projects efficiently with a customizable kanban board.

    No more scouring random emails for client requests! Approval Studio’s annotation tool lets you pin feedback on top of any design.

    Clients can highlight feedback areas with four different annotation shapes and leave comments explaining their creative vision.

    Use the on-screen ruler to measure the distance between elements with precision down to the exact millimeter.

    There’s also a handy barcode scanner that lets you verify information on product packages to keep you from making expensive design mistakes.

    Receive clear, detailed feedback from clients via image annotations.

    Approval Studio also makes it easy to automatically compare two versions of the same file side-by-side.

    Spot the difference across versions with four unique comparison modes that let you rotate, zoom, and isolate the differences in a design file.

    You can even highlight all changes to guarantee every mistake is corrected and every client request is fulfilled.

    This tool also supports third-party integrations with Slack, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zapier, and other popular tools.

    Spot changes with ease across four automated comparison modes.

    Tired of clients claiming you forgot a specific detail? Approval Studio lets you access a formal PDF proof report that captures all client feedback.

    You’ll be able to automatically track project actions and even recover what’s been done or deleted.

    The analytics report feature lets you capture project insights, spot bottlenecks, and identify areas for improvement with data-backed info.

    And you can easily communicate with your team using the discussion tab—or tag specific users in the comments.

    Reporting feature

    You’ll be able to monitor edits and actions with multiple reports that unify all feedback requests.

    Applying client feedback is hard enough without searching through different channels for all their requests. (“Sure, I can definitely remove the background! Also, who is this??”)

    Luckily, Approval Studio can help you streamline your design approval process, so you can give clients exactly what they want—in record time.

    Complete design projects in a snap.
