How it works

A simpler way to get marketing content approved

From first upload to final sign-off in four steps:

Step 1 – Upload and organize your files

Drag and drop any file type into your dashboard – including PDFs, images, videos, and documents.

Step 2 – Invite reviewers and set due dates

Add internal teams or external stakeholders via email or a shareable link. No account needed to review or approve.

Step 3 – Collect feedback in one place

Reviewers comment directly on the file so you get clear, consolidated feedback from the start.

Step 4 – Get approval and move on

Approvals automatically trigger the next review group, tracking every decision along the way.

Your marketing approval questions, answered

What is marketing approval software?

Marketing approval software is a platform for getting feedback and approval on your creative campaigns. You can upload files into projects, create reviewer groups to suit your workflow, and maintain version control – all in one place.

How does marketing approval software track approvals?

In Filestage’s marketing approval software, your project dashboard shows status indicators for each of your reviewers. Then, when they request changes or approve your file, their indicator will turn orange or green. So you can see everyone’s status at a glance.

What types of teams use Filestage?

Filestage is used by marketing, creative, and agency teams who need structured review rounds across multiple stakeholder groups — including brand, legal, compliance, and leadership. It’s particularly popular in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and financial services, where approvals need to be documented and traceable.

How do you invite stakeholders to marketing approval software?

Our marketing approval platform lets you invite reviewers by entering their email addresses or copying a review link into an email or chat tool. You can invite an unlimited number of people to your review and approval processes in Filestage, for free!

What file formats can you review and approve with Filestage?

Our marketing approval software supports all the most popular file formats for your campaigns. You can review videos, images, designs, documents, PDFs, audio files, live websites, and interactive HTML.

Can you set up automated approval workflows in Filestage?

Absolutely! Once you’ve configured your reviewer groups, Filestage automatically moves files from one stage to the next — so when marketing approves, it goes straight to legal or compliance without any manual action. You can also use Review Agents to get instant AI-powered feedback based on your brand guidelines before a file even reaches your reviewers.

What other approval workflow tools does Filestage offer?

As well as offering customizable approval workflows for your marketing campaign or content approval process, Filestage also includes a range of helpful feedback features. You can create comments, draw annotations, send attachments, and reply in threads right alongside your content. This helps to keep everything in one place, avoiding extra review rounds caused by miscommunication.

How long does it take to set up Filestage?

Most teams are up and running in under a day. You can create a project, upload files, and invite your first reviewers in minutes — no IT support or complex onboarding required.
