  • Comments in proofs: You can tag them, copy them from version to version, resolve them and comment back. All of this is super simple to use.
  • Workflow Templates: Setting up a workflow that automatically pushes the proof from stage to stage following a pre-determined timeline. Also, locking stages or proofs when a deadline has come or decisions has been made.
  • Proof Organization: Being able to organize proofs in folders, locking or archiving them when you are done with them. Keeps this organized and clean when looking for proofs.
  • Connecting to Asana: This may be a company thing that we have not figured out. We used to have the two systems communicating with each other but we haven't been able to get it for some time. I wonder if that can become easier.
  • Uploading Proofs: Since the new version, there is so much clicking that has to be done with add messages to proofing stages and many sections. It's hard to click through it all and it feels like it takes longer than it did before.

  • If your filenames are organized, the search function is a dream.
  • I think the staging function makes it handy to keep things moving once one party approves.
  • I think the templates are great for adding multiple people to proofs automatically.
  • After big design overhauls, maybe instead of highlighting new features, old ones that may have been moved could be highlighted.
  • Sometimes emails are a bit slow to receive but that could be a problem on our end.

  • Compare mode for different versions
  • Easy editing capabilities that show where the edit needs to be
  • Easy to export and review edits
  • Easy to upload new versions
  • live site editing and possibly showing a small snippet of the screenshot in the comment section so others can see if a comment they had was already made.
  • It would be really great if there was some nudges the first time someone used the platform. Pointing out where to make edits and then comparing them more. Just a quick walkthrough.
  • I would love to be able to use the platform to collect material from the client for internal review.

  • Simple and user friendly interface with little if no learning curve.
  • Accurate and specific change requests are especially enhanced when using the markup tools.
  • Nice to be able to assign who the decision maker is and also be able to change project participants easily, like when someone goes on holiday or sick leave.
  • SOCD (sent, opened, comment, decision) progress indicators provide an awesome 'at a glance' view of project participants activity.
  • Email notifications and integration with Asana is brilliant.
  • Sometimes when you have proofs that may have names that are similar, it can cause issues with integration on Asana.
  • Not often, but at times it can be slow to update Asana (but could be due to Asana or slow internet)
  • It would be good to be able to upload batches of files in one go without them becoming one file. (not sure if this can already be done and I missed this feature)
  • Make it clearer for users to make sure their comment or change request is captured and saved.

  • Versioning - We can easily see the previous version of the website and compare it with the update to ensure that the revisions were made as intended
  • Approval process - Can go through multiple layers of approvals across departments which ensures a high quality before it's delivered to the client
  • Multiple screen sizes - Toggling between multiple screen sizes allows us to ensure a perfect experience across all devices and we can give feedback at each level
  • Build solution for Shopify Preview Theme - Currently the Shopify preview link doesn't work natively within Ziflow so we can have to do a roundabout method to get it to work
  • Website accessed from a US server - For some clients we have a redirect which takes them to the US version of the site so when we want to proof, we have to turn the redirect off as Ziflow accesses it from the US
