"Cleaner feedback across copy, branding, and production!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Filestage?

Comment Labels have helped us separate feedback by type, so reviewers don’t have to read through an entire thread just to find what’s relevant. We also use Reviewer Groups to keep internal review and client review distinct, while still keeping both rounds connected to the same asset. Reviewers can join via a link without creating an account, and since Filestage supports images, video, documents, audio, websites, and interactive HTML, we don’t have to force social content into a PDF just to collect feedback. Compare Versions becomes especially valuable once a creative hits the second or third round. Being able to review two versions side by side, with the comments still attached, makes it easy to confirm whether a CTA, disclaimer, or piece of copy was fixed—without accidentally losing another change that was already approved. On campaigns with lots of adaptations, that cuts down on repetitive review. Automations, due dates, and integrations with tools like Slack, Teams, Figma, Monday, Jira, Asana, and Adobe also help keep everything moving, without me having to send yet another message every time an asset changes status.

What do you dislike about Filestage?

The workspace can still get messy when every client ends up with a custom workflow. We hit that point ourselves: we had too many similar templates and reviewer groups, and maintaining them started to feel harder than the review process itself. In the end, we simplified the setup and only kept separate workflows when the approval sequence truly changed. That made it much easier for the team to know which process to use, instead of having to choose between five nearly identical options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Filestage solving and how is that benefiting you?

A launch campaign had nearly thirty pieces across Reels, Stories, carousels, and paid adaptations, and the real challenge was no longer producing the content. It was keeping track of which version was actually approved. The client was leaving comments on some assets by email, the creative team was getting other changes through Slack, and two different versions of the same Reel were circulating at the same time. We moved the campaign into Filestage and split the workflow into internal, client, and legal Reviewer Groups. Each revision stayed attached to the same asset, and Compare Versions made it easy to confirm that copy, pricing, and disclaimers were truly corrected before anything moved forward. Our first setup wasn’t ideal, because we made the client a required reviewer too early, so they were seeing work before the internal team had resolved basic issues. We adjusted the process by moving client approval to the final stage and keeping the earlier round private. After connecting the project to Slack for status updates, I stopped maintaining a separate list of what was “really approved.” Now I can open the campaign and immediately see what’s ready to schedule, what still needs changes, and who has the next decision.
