Proofing room
Feedback pinned to the pixel
Creative review with annotations pinned to the artwork, time-coded for video. Versioning tracks every round, and each reviewer gives a formal approve or changes-required decision.
Proofing ends the era of feedback like "the logo feels off" in an email thread. Reviewers pin annotations directly to the artwork, exactly where the issue is; on video, annotations are time-coded to the moment they refer to. The designer sees precisely what to change and where.
Versioning keeps every round of the file, so v3 feedback never gets applied to v2. And when it's time to sign off, each reviewer records a formal decision: approve or changes required. No more guessing whether silence means yes.
What you get
Everything inside Proofing
Pinned annotations
Comments attach to the exact spot on the artwork. No more "third box from the left, sort of near the top."
Time-coded for video
On video, annotations link to timestamps, so feedback about second 14 lives at second 14.
Versioning
Every round of the file is kept and tracked. Compare rounds, and never confuse which version a comment belongs to.
Formal decisions
Reviewers explicitly approve or request changes. Sign-off becomes a recorded fact, not an inferred one.
Per-reviewer status
Each reviewer's decision is tracked separately, so you know exactly who has signed off and who you're waiting on.
Next to the project
Proofing lives in the same space as the campaign's boards, chat, and files, so review is part of the workflow, not an emailed detour.
Made for moments like these
- Route the campaign key visual through three stakeholders with tracked approvals
- Give time-coded notes on the product video's pacing at exactly 0:14
- Keep five rounds of packaging revisions organized with versioning
- Show a client-ready record of who approved the final artwork and when
One less tool to pay for

FAQ
Common questions
Does Proofing handle video?+
Yes. Annotations on video are time-coded, so each note attaches to the exact moment it's about. Reviewers stop writing timestamps into comments by hand, and editors stop scrubbing around trying to find what the note meant.
How does approval actually work?+
Each reviewer gives a formal decision on the version: approve or changes required. Decisions are per reviewer, so you can see at a glance who has signed off and who is still pending. Approval is recorded, not assumed.
What happens when we upload a new version?+
Versioning keeps each round distinct, with its own annotations and decisions. Feedback stays attached to the version it was given on, so nothing gets applied to the wrong file.
Is Proofing on the free plan?+
Proofing is part of the Pro plan, $15 per user per month ($12 annual), with a 14-day free Pro trial. The free plan includes all 18 room types, so your team can start there and add Pro when review workflows need it.
