What is External File Markup & Approval?
External File Markup & Approval allows teams to send files to clients, vendors, leadership teams, or other external stakeholders for review, comments, markup, and approval without requiring them to log into Workzone.
Reviewers receive a secure email link where they can open files, leave comments, annotate content, and submit approval responses directly within the workflow.
Why is External File Markup & Approval important?
Review and approval cycles are often one of the biggest causes of project delays, especially when feedback is scattered across emails, screenshots, meetings, and multiple file versions.
Workzone centralizes comments, markups, approvals, and file versions in one place so teams can simplify collaboration, reduce confusion, improve visibility, and speed up project delivery.
Can external users approve files in Workzone?
Yes. Workzone allows external stakeholders to receive secure approval requests through email and respond without needing to log into Workzone.
Can external reviewers annotate or mark up files?
Yes. External reviewers can use markup tools to annotate supported files with comments, highlights, arrows, shapes, notes, and other feedback tools.
What file types support markup in Workzone?
Workzone supports markup for file types including PDFs, images, SVGs, TIFF files, and videos such as MP4 files.
Do external reviewers need a Workzone login?
No. External reviewers can access files and submit approval responses using a secure email link without logging into Workzone.
Why use external approval workflows instead of email?
External approval workflows centralize feedback, reduce version confusion, improve visibility, and eliminate long email chains that slow down project delivery.
Can internal and external reviewers collaborate together?
Yes. Workzone supports approval workflows that include both internal team members and external stakeholders within the same review process.
