Creative Approval Workflow
A creative approval workflow routes assets through review stages with clear ownership and sign-off at each step. Kreatli tracks approval status per file and version so nothing ships without sign-off and no email chasing is needed.

What is a Creative Approval Workflow?
End-to-end approval workflow for creative assets It is part of Kreatli's video collaboration and review platform for creative teams who need frame-accurate feedback, organized assets, and clear approvals in one workspace.
When teams use this
- An agency routes a campaign through internal QC, client review, then legal before delivery.
- A brand team tracks which assets in a product launch are approved and which are blocked.
- A producer sees all pending approvals across projects in one view.
This page targets the workflow buyer. Single-video approval is on video approval. Review and feedback is on review and approval.

Everything You Need for Creative Approvals
Route assets through structured review stages with ownership, deadlines, and sign-off tracking on every file.
Multi-Step Approval Stages
Define custom columns for each approval stage—Internal QC, Client Review, Legal, Final Approval. Move assets through stages as they progress so the workflow matches your actual process.
File-Level Ownership & Deadlines
Assign an owner and a due date to each file in the project. Reviewers know exactly what needs their attention and when, so nothing sits in limbo waiting for someone to notice.
Approval Status per Asset
Each file carries its own approval status—pending, approved, or changes requested. Filter by status to see what still needs sign-off and what is ready for delivery.
Cross-Format Support
Run approval workflows for video, PDF, and image files in the same project. A campaign with a hero spot, a print ad, and a social deck all move through one unified pipeline.
Guest Approval Links
Generate a secure approval link for external stakeholders. Clients view the asset, leave feedback, and record their decision without creating a Kreatli account or installing anything.
Project-Level Overview
See every asset in a project at a glance with its current stage, owner, deadline, and approval status. Producers and project managers get a single view of what is done and what is blocking delivery.
