What is Review Tool?

A review tool is a collaborative software designed to streamline the review process for documents, webpages, product designs, and other content. It provides a centralized platform for teams to give feedback, discuss changes, and ultimately approve versions of reviewed items.

Some key features of review tools include:

• Commenting tools - Annotate directly on items by adding threaded comments, suggestions, questions, etc.
• Version control - Track all iterations of an item with version histories.
• @Mentions - Tag specific people to get their input.
• Task management - Convert comments into editable tasks with statuses and assignees.
• Due dates - Set deadlines for finishing reviews or tasks.
• Resolution confirmation - Require sign-off that edits have been made per suggestions.

Benefits of using a dedicated review tool include improved transparency, accountability, and efficiency during the review process. Rather than emailing files back and forth or using track changes, all feedback is documented in one place. Review tools help streamline collaboration so teams can review faster and make decisions quicker.

Popular tools in this category include Workfront Proof, Filestage, ReviewStudio, and GoProof. These can be used for reviewing website content, marketing deliverables, product designs, documents, and more. When selecting a review tool, consider ease of use, advanced functionality, and integration capabilities.
