Invite unlimited external reviewers to proof designs

Get design feedback from your clients and other project stakeholders who are not members of your team without signing them up in Approval Studio.

What are external reviews?

External reviews in Approval Studio are meant for people outside your team whose feedback and approval is crucial to your design review process. Mostly, these are clients and other project stakeholders. There are a couple of ways to request an external review:

Reviews like you need them

Every project is different. Make sure external reviewers work within the project type, security, and compliance requirements. You control how others see your assets.

Address book

Click to access the address book with all previously saved external users in one place. Send emails to multiple people at once, using groups.

Language

Choose the interface and email language for the external reviewer out of six available: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Polski, and Українська.

Simple Mode

Enable a simplified version of the review tool with four most important options: Approve, Reject, Annotate, and Compare (if possible).

Selective Approval Mode

Select if you need a client to choose one of the available designs. To approve, one or multiple files have to be highlighted.

Allow users to subscribe to asset changes

Check for the ability to subscribe to asset changes. They will receive email notifications for any changes to the asset.

Checklist

Choose one of the available checklists to ensure none of the design review elements have been lost in review. Checklists should be created prior.

External approval has never been better

Easy Access

Send an external review, using the option in the project menu on the dashboard or from the design review tool itself. Invite as many collaborators as needed.

Fast reviews

Get feedback on your designs in a matter of seconds, using shortlinks or automatically generated emails. Invite as many collaborators as needed.

No client registration

External reviewers don’t have to create accounts to leave feedback. Just enter the name to be displayed with the comments and enjoy collaboration with no limits.

File sharing options

Explore multiple sharing options that will make design approval more secure, context-aware, and accessible to everyone. No need to explain how it works every time.

Share from dashboard

To send artwork for an external review from the dashboard, you can use a Share icon in front of the uploaded file.

Fill the form

Sharing the file, you will have the possibility to fill in different optional fields like a due date, description, subject, etc.

Choose the language

With our multi-language interface, you can choose the one language that will be the most suitable for your external reviewer if you’re working with a multilingual team.

Enter the email address

The file will be sent to the email address you enter — the only mandatory field in the form. Our design review system remembers the addresses you’ve used before.

Approval Studio allows sharing multiple files from your project at once if you need your client to review them all.

Share from review tool

Having reviewed the file yourself, you can create an external review directly from our design proofing tool.

Similar email options

If you need to send the file via email, all similar options from the dashboard are present here with all optional fields and a language selector.

Quick link

Also, you can generate a quick link in the design review tool to the file review and copy-paste it to the chat with your stakeholders.

Say friend and enter

The quick link method will require design reviewers to enter their names before they start review so that it’s easy to know who added a comment — this is not a registration.

Choose the language

Quick link reviewers will be able to choose the language of the interface on their own to make their design review and approval process as convenient as possible.
