All features

Complete Feedback & Approval Toolkit

Everything you need to manage reviews, feedback rounds, and sign-offs in one place.

Approval Workflows

Design multi-stage approval processes with sequential or parallel reviewers, escalation paths, and automatic routing based on content type or value.

Contextual Comments

Leave feedback directly on images, documents, and designs. Pin comments to specific areas so reviewers know exactly what needs attention.

Status Tracking

See the real-time status of every approval request at a glance. Filter by pending, approved, rejected, or changes requested across all projects.

Smart Notifications

Reviewers get notified instantly when their input is needed. Submitters receive updates on every status change, comment, and final decision.

Version History

Track every revision with a complete history. Compare versions side by side, see what changed between rounds, and audit the full approval trail.

Roles & Permissions

Define who can submit, review, and approve. Set up role-based workflows where specific teams or managers are automatically included in relevant reviews.
