Online Proofing Can Make Everyone's Day Easier

Platforms designed to facilitate online proofing – web-based review and approval of files – often focus on creative agencies, marketing teams, or custom print shops. But the proofing process isn’t limited to these teams, and proofing software shouldn’t be either.

If you work in marketing, sales, HR, education, community outreach, research and development, or nearly any other profession, online proofing software can be a huge asset. If you create collateral that needs a second (or third) pair of eyes, it can make your workday much smoother.

Take Advantage of Online Proofing No Matter What You Do

Ashore was designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, so it hasn’t been pigeonholed into serving only one type of user. It serves professionals both in and outside of the creative industry in surprising ways.

Newsletters

Newsletters are a staple of communication, whether or not you have a formal email marketing strategy. They help share news and updates with customers, prospects, employees, and other stakeholders, keeping your brand top of mind.

Proofing a newsletter can be tedious, often involving multiple test emails and rounds of feedback. A proofing platform streamlines the process:

• Send newsletters to approvers all at once or in a workflow
• Collect comments directly on the webpage
• Avoid email back-and-forth

With Ashore, you can speed up newsletter reviews and free up time to develop additional email campaigns.

Websites

A website is often the first impression for potential customers, so design and messaging must be spot-on. Stakeholders will focus on different elements — messaging, visuals, usability — and their varied feedback is valuable.

Traditional website proofing can be unclear: Do you send screenshots? A link? How do you know exactly what they’re referring to?

With Ashore, you can:

• Send a live webpage to approvers
• Allow them to comment directly on the page
• Preview designs at different pixel widths for various devices

This makes web feedback more precise and actionable.

Presentations

Presentations range from quick staff updates to full-scale investor pitch decks. Regardless of length, they benefit from multiple rounds of review.

With Ashore, approvers can:

• Mark up slides directly
• Jump to the exact page a comment refers to
• Share feedback without creating an account

You can even share review links with anyone — from coworkers to friends — and collect a wide range of opinions.

Everyone Needs Feedback

If you create anything that could benefit from peer review, online proofing can help. Ashore supports feedback on:

• Videos
• Podcasts
• Photography
• Training materials
• And more

Key features include:

• Automatic reminders to keep proofs top-of-mind
• Checklists to guide approvers before they click “Approve”
• Project organization to easily find past feedback without searching emails
