Introducing Share for External Review for Editorial Projects

WHAT

Automatically route retouched assets for review

  • Share with internal users or external stakeholders
  • Invite as many (or as few) people as needed
  • Invited stakeholders can access easily without an account

Email notifications

  • When invited, receive an email invitation that takes you directly to the assets for review
  • Email notifications of review activity automatically sent straight to the task owner’s inbox

Real-time review and collaboration

  • Feedback is synced in real time between the stakeholder view and users in Creative Force

Control sharing and security

  • As an admin, define the allowed list of domains that users can share out with
  • Add, edit, or remove access to review easily
  • Define functional capability per invited person

WHY

A single tool for both studios and stakeholders to review and approve content

  • Can now share deliverables externally so don’t have to handle stakeholder feedback outside of Creative Force.

Simple to invite external stakeholders to review and approve deliverables

  • Invite anyone with an email address to review and approve images before delivery.
  • No Creative Force account is required.

Easy-to-Use Interface

  • The stakeholder review interface is a simplified version of Creative Force’s standard review feature, incorporating only the essential functions, like markups and comments, needed to provide feedback.
  • Simple comment, @ reply, and reaction mimic the functions people are already familiar with from social media
  • Stakeholders see only the images they need to review, making it simple for them to open the files, provide feedback and/or approval, and move on with their day.

Streamlined communication

  • Automated emails notify stakeholders when assets are ready for review and inform task owners of review activity.
  • Feedback is centralized in one place and synced in real-time between the stakeholder view and Creative Force users.

Secure access management

  • Easily add, edit, or revoke access
  • Define an allowed list of email domains
