The approval process
How Approve Studio works (the full flow)
This is the client design approval portal that ends email chaos. Every step stays in one secure link.
Step 1
Send a proof from DesignGen
Pick a design from Create Studio or Mockup Studio, add notes, choose an email template, and send. Ten seconds and no file juggling.
Step 2
Client opens their approval portal
They see the design, your notes, and two buttons: Approve or Request Changes. Simple, even for non-technical clients.
Step 3
Revisions happen in one place
Clients type revision requests in Approve Studio Revisions and DesignGen applies them with Premium, Ultra, or Ultra Max models. Same portal, no re-uploads.
Step 4
Final sign-off with signature and timestamp
After approval, the client signs digitally. You instantly get a locked proof plus email confirmation with every detail.
Approve Studio Revisions
Clients request changes. DesignGen applies them. No ping-pong.
Revision requests normally kill timelines. Clients say “make the text bigger,” you open Photoshop, export, re-upload, resend. Approve Studio Revisions shortcuts that entire loop. Clients type requests in the portal, AI applies the change instantly, and they approve the new version in the same link.
- Client types: “Make the text 20% bigger and change blue to red.”
- DesignGen applies the change in seconds using the selected model tier.
- New version appears inside the same approval link automatically.
- Client approves or requests additional tweaks right there.
- You control revision limits per project or per client.
What gets changed
- Text size and color updates
- Color swaps across the artwork
- Minor composition adjustments
- Foreground or background edits
