Everything a review needs, nothing it doesn't
Simple Approvals does one job well: getting work from submitted to decided, with everyone clear on where it stands. Here's how.
One place to submit
Drag work into a workspace and it's ready to review. Images, PDFs, video, and documents sit side by side, with thumbnails and a built-in preview. No hunting through inboxes for the right attachment, no zip files, no 'can you resend that'. Every file for a submission lives in one place.
Decisions, not debates
Each reviewer gives a clear call: approve, request changes, or decline. The submission's status reflects it at a glance. When one reviewer asks for changes, everyone sees it and the file is locked for revision, so there's never confusion about whether something is done or whose turn it is.
Feedback in context
Leave comments on the whole submission or on a single file, so feedback always points at the thing it's about. The conversation stays attached to the work, and to its version, instead of being scattered across email threads and chat messages no one can find later.
Mark up the work itself
Stop describing where the problem is. Draw freehand, point with arrows, and drop numbered comment pins directly on an image, so every note lands exactly where it belongs. The pins join the same thread as your comments, with their own number, notifications, and edits, and clients can mark up straight from a review link, no account needed.
Bring in clients, simply
Work with people outside your team without the friction. External senders get a clean, branded portal to submit work and follow its progress, and outside reviewers can approve or request changes straight from a secure link. No seats to buy for an occasional reviewer, no account hurdles for your clients.
Versions, handled
When changes are requested, the sender simply re-sends a new version. Reviewers reset automatically for the new round, the version number bumps, and the earlier feedback and decisions stay on the record. You always know which version you're looking at and how it got there.
Intake forms
Build custom intake forms per workspace so submissions arrive with the context reviewers actually need, like campaign, due date, and specs, whatever matters to you. The form's answers travel with the submission as a snapshot, so later edits to the template never rewrite history.
