User Testimonials
	Approval Studio	Filestage
Likelihood to Recommend	Approval Studio No answers on this topic	Filestage Filestage is perfect for staging a review with multiple stakeholders from different organizations. You can control who sees your project and when they can see it. Controlling this aspect of the review process is so important because some stakeholders might not understand a work in process and really only need to see something that's close to finished, while other collaborators might need to get in earlier to make art changes, copy changes, etc. Incentivized Matthew DeLaRosa Graphic Designer Read full review
