The ability to share proofs with the broader marketing team for review in on location has streamlined our proofing process. We are also able to review for platform and device variations without the need of manually sending proofs to those with this combinations. However, we have chosen to house all of our comments and markups within Wrike, our project management platform.

We use Litmus Proof to help with testing, reviewing, and approving emails, but we do not use it in part of our typical workflow. Since our HTML code renders properly across all devices, we use that shell and modules to build future emails. We test the HTML periodically to ensure no code has altered, but we typically do not test all emails.

Litmus has allowed us to streamline the email workforce in many ways. The folder and subfolder structure in Litmus allows us to organize our email sends and accurately categorize them, allowing ease of navigation. The ability to share Litmus proofs to external partners has also allowed us for better collaboration with cross-functional teams (that are in charge of related parts of emails such as design and copy) without having to give them the Litmus license.

We have been able to streamline the testing process through Litmus, making it much faster to test out new features, sometimes experimental in certain emails. It all just has enabled testing to be much faster without having to wait on approval as we can show the previews while working on them.

Having precise pointers for feedback is key. Sometimes describing exactly what or where the change is can be tough, and Litmus reduces the "is this what you meant" back and forth. Additionally where commenting back and forth, tracking the conversation across multiple commenters is great.

Litmus' Proof feature has been instrumental in streamlining our email approval workflow and reducing review cycle time. Our team utilizes features like commenting and sharing, enabling seamless collaboration and real-time feedback exchange. Additionally, task lists and status updates help us stay organized and track progress efficiently, ensuring smoother and faster email approvals.

Litmus has revolutionized our approach to email quality assurance (QA), providing a user-friendly platform that allows anyone on the team to conduct quick and efficient QA checks. This accessibility has significantly expedited our pre-launch procedures, making the process of setting campaigns live notably quicker and more seamless. The democratization of QA tasks within the team has not only improved efficiency but also enhanced collaboration across various stakeholders in the campaign deployment process.

This streamlines our workflow because it allows us to test the marketing email across multiple devices and email clients, rather than needing to own every single device or have an email account with every single email client and then have to sign onto and test each individual email across the individual devices.

Enabling commenting , sharing and status updates are the most common Litmus' Proof feature that we used for some of my clients . these features helpes us on time saving, centralize the information, analysis the email content or structure and better workflow. It helped also to keep history of old emails and interactions/comments.

No... as we currently use it, WorkFront static screenshot is how they review and proof. If it integrated into WF, then we could reasonaly use it if we had a dedicated email developer on the team. Otherwise, it is fairly rinse/repeat on designs for now.
