File Approvals

TL;DR

File Approvals help teams manage the review and approval process for files by tracking approval status, assigned reviewers, and review progress. Approvals support locally uploaded files, certain external media sources, and website links, making it easier to coordinate feedback and sign-off on content.

Overview

All user types (including Collaborators and Contributors) can assign files for review, and all user types can be assigned to review files.

Use File Approvals when you have files that need to be reviewed and approved by teammates. Approvals help organize and bring transparency to the review process by allowing your team to keep track of:

  • What files need to be reviewed and approved.
  • Who's responsible for approving a file.
  • What each file’s review status is.

You can filter files according to their approval and guest review status, user(s) assigned as approvers, on their start or due dates, and more.
