Online proofing software for creative teams
Creative review goes wrong when feedback lives in email threads and a forgotten attachment becomes the final file. Cohiva Campaign keeps review on a versioned proofing canvas that handles images, PDFs, video, and documents, so every comment is attached to the work it refers to and every version is kept.
Feedback is precise because it is positional. Reviewers drop annotation pins directly on the artwork and discuss each one in a threaded reply, so a note about the headline sits on the headline rather than in a paragraph that someone has to interpret. When a new version arrives, reviewers compare it side by side with the previous one to confirm the changes landed.
The status of each note is visible at a glance. Unresolved pins show orange and resolved pins show green, so anyone can see what is still outstanding before a version moves on. When a version is ready, it can be locked with an approve as is action, which fixes that version as the agreed one.
Review often involves people outside the team. External guests can proof via a shareable link without a Campaign account, so a client, an agency partner, or an external reviewer can comment without onboarding, while their feedback stays in the same versioned record as everyone else's.
Because proofing sits inside the same workspace as approvals and the go-live gate, a signed-off proof feeds the launch process rather than ending in a separate tool. Start a free trial of Cohiva Campaign to put a non-bypassable go-live gate behind every launch.
