Creative work requires a lot of reviewing. Ask any designer about it, and you will get to know the pain they go through when it comes to the approval process. It takes a never-ending email volleyball between the clients or stakeholders and the designer before a design is finally approved.

“Want to make your proofing and review process more streamlined? Switch to ProofHub.”

Although emails have been the tried and tested option for review and approval process for decades now. But, using emails comes with its own set of challenges. Similarly when it comes to reviewing content, businesses either rely on the old school ways of distributing print outs to collaborators and get their feedback, discuss in person, or use online tools like Google Docs and other content sharing platform. The documents go through a myriad of people i.e. marketing team, legal professionals, ad- agencies, management, etc. before finally making the cut.

The fact of the matter is that relying on these methods adds to the pain of the entire process rather than simplifying it. Here’s a look at the challenges faced when you are using emails for proofing your creative work -

  • Lot of confusion, as a pile of files is created thanks to feedback shared by multiple people.
  • Hours and days wasted in email volleyball during the review and approval process.
  • Inefficient collaboration, as no one knows who has reviewed the file, who is currently reviewing it and how many have approved it?

And, that’s just not it. The slow speed of review and approval process costs the company a lot when looked in the longer run.

This is the story of not just one, but almost every other company. So, how can businesses get rid of these challenges?

With its native proofing tool, ProofHub makes life easy for teams and creative professionals.

Making sure that all these challenges are dealt in the most efficient possible manner, ProofHub takes care of all the pain that teams had to face during the review process. Here’s a look at how it simplifies the proofing and review process -

Preview and proof from the same screen

You can preview and proof files from the same screen. This will save quite a lot of your time that was earlier spent on moving from preview screen to the proofing screen. Everything is available at one place, so you can proof files quickly, without any hassle.

Multiple versions of the same file in proofing window

With file versioning in ProofHub, you can view all the versions of a file which is shared for proofing. By default you will get to see the latest version of the file. However, there is the option to see all the different versions of the file currently under review. So, there won’t be any confusion.

Comment on all files and approve them

We’ve given you the option to add comments on all types of files that have been shared for proofing. When you are working on a project, there are endless number of files that need to be proofed. And, we understand that it can be frustrating to use different tools for proofing different files. With ProofHub you can share comments and proof all your file using a single tool.

Add collaborators directly

You can directly add people on the file being proofed and collaborate with your team, client and stakeholders. This not only is going to save you a lot of time, but end the hassle of having to switch back and forth between different sections every time you had to share your file with someone for proofing.

Share files with guests for review

You can even share the files and documents for review with people who are not part of your ProofHub account. Simply copy the link of the file you have uploaded for proofing in your account (right click on the file to get the copy link option), and share it with clients, stakeholders or the person from whom you want to get the file previewed.

And lot more

Apart from all these there are plenty of other features as well. The annotation, comments or markings on the file being proofed get saved automatically. Comments and sub comments are now visible in a single window, giving it a neat appearance. The email notification that you will receive, whenever someone asks you to proof a file, will now open directly in the proofing window.

‘Make proofing and review process easy. Start using ProofHub.’

All that explained, you can see that proofing becomes lot more simpler with the proofing tool in ProofHub.

And, we don’t stop here. You will continue to see new updates and additions in the tool from time to time. And, we will continue to make your proofing experience better than ever. :)
