Working remotely has some amazing benefits, but what you gain in the ability to dial in to meetings in your flannel PJ pants, you make up for in certain collaborative challenges. 

One of the most common challenges for remote creative teams is the review and approval process. You want to be able to get clear feedback and ensure that all critical stakeholders sign off on new edits and media without wasting tons of time going back and forth in a project management loop with endless email chains. 

Thankfully, the rise of remote work culture has brought along new tools that can help you eliminate inbox chaos while sharing content edits with as many or as few team members as you like. We’ve compiled our top ten remote review and approval tools that will save you from inbox hell and help your team get more done. 

The 10 best remote review and approval tools for creative teams

Evercast

Evercast is a remote collaboration platform that allows you to share content, make notes, and communicate with your team in real-time. This allows you to gather your entire team in a virtual “room” where you can answer questions, gather feedback, and even re-edit your content while your team looks on. 

Async or real-time?
