Does Aproove integrate with Adobe Workfront?

Yes. Aproove has a purpose-built bidirectional integration with Workfront that handles project kickoff and status sync. Files, workflow configuration, and metadata flow from Workfront into Aproove at the approval stage. Status updates, comments, and final approval status return to the Workfront Updates tab automatically. Project managers stay in Workfront. Reviewers work in Aproove.

FAQs

How does Aproove use AI in the review process?

Aproove's AI Agent runs at the proof or section level, with section-level prompts firing in parallel across every selected proof in a flat plan. Common agency use cases include spell and grammar passes across deliverable batches, brand guideline validation against client-specific persistent reference files, regulatory copy presence verification, and tone consistency across multi-asset campaigns. AI-generated notes are prefixed [AI GENERATED] in the audit trail, the agency uses its own OpenAI enterprise agreement (no training on client content), and reviewers stay in control of every decision through the same workflow they already use.

Can Aproove integrate with our finance and resource management systems?

Yes. Aproove integrates through hot folders, REST and RPC APIs, and webhook callbacks. More than 40 automated actions can fire on any workflow decision, including milestone-triggered handoffs to billing systems, project-creation events fed by the agency CRM, and reporting feeds to BI tools. Custom Crystal Reports support complex data extraction for finance and operations.

Can Aproove scale across distributed teams and global clients?

Yes. Aproove supports distributed teams, multiple regions, and high volumes of work. Project timezone support handles cross-region scheduling. Multi-portal architecture supports separate audiences per client against a single backend. Auto-provisioning via SAML SSO scales user onboarding cleanly. The platform routinely runs hundreds of thousands of proofs per month at the largest agency-served customers.

How does Aproove handle review across legal, compliance, and brand?

Through decision-driven workflows that route review in parallel across multiple functions, with Annotation Flow Management ensuring each audience sees only the markup they should see at the moment they should see it. Each function makes a recorded decision, conflict management resolves disagreement when it occurs, and the entire review history is captured in the audit trail. Per-step deadlines hold the schedule.

Can different reviewers see different annotations on the same asset?

Yes. Annotation Flow Management gives granular control over which user groups see which markup within a single review step. Internal marketing review can stay invisible to brand. Legal commentary can stay scoped to legal until elevated. Group managers move notes between audiences as the review matures. This is unique to Aproove and is the answer to the most common pain point in cross-functional marketing review.

How does Aproove enforce mandatory disclosures and disclaimers?

Three ways. Pixel-level smart compare catches single-character drift in mandatory copy across versions. AI-assisted review can verify the presence of required disclosures against persistent reference files (an approved claims library, a regulatory template, a brand book). Master template comparison checks regional and language variants against the approved master to surface structural drift before it reaches the channel.

How does Aproove use AI in the review process?

Aproove's AI Agent runs at the proof or section level, with section-level prompts firing in parallel across every selected proof in a flat plan. Marketing-relevant use cases include claim substantiation checks against approved claims libraries, mandatory disclosure presence verification, brand guideline validation against the brand book, fair-balance checks, and tone consistency across campaigns. AI-generated notes are prefixed with [AI GENERATED] in the audit trail. Customer-controlled OpenAI API keys mean you use your own enterprise agreement with no training on your content. Permission to run specific prompts is controlled at the schema level, so different brands or business units can have different AI access scopes.

Does Aproove capture electronic sign-off for compliance purposes?

Yes. Any decision can be configured to require re-authenticated email and password confirmation at the moment the reviewer makes the call, with optional 2FA for higher-stakes approvals. The signature is bound to the specific decision, the specific user, and the specific timestamp, and is captured directly into the audit trail. Identity enforcement prevents tasks from being forwarded to a different user after the fact.

How does Aproove handle multi-region and multi-brand marketing?

Aproove supports multiple login portals against a single backend, with team-key restrictions per portal. Different brands within the enterprise (or different regional business units) can have their own portal experience, their own merchandising teams, their own schemas, and their own workflows while sharing the platform, the audit trail, and the operational reporting. Master template comparison lets the central brand or regulatory team verify that regional and language variants match the approved master.

Can Aproove integrate with our DAM, PIM, CMS, and other systems?

Yes. Aproove integrates through hot folders, REST and RPC APIs, and webhook callbacks. More than 40 automated actions can fire on any workflow decision, including handoffs to DAM, PIM, CMS, CRM, marketing automation platforms, and the systems your marketing operations function already runs on. SAML 2.0 SSO with auto-provisioning handles user lifecycle through your enterprise IDP.

What is the audit trail like for regulatory inspection or litigation?

Every user action and system action is logged automatically with timestamps, exportable as CSV. Project Chat preserves originally posted content even after edits, for compliance reasons. Project history persists after project closure. The Export PDF function combines the document, every annotation, every comment, and the workflow history into a single submission-ready packet. The platform is the source of the record, not a feeder for somebody else's reconstruction.

Can Aproove scale across global teams?

Yes. Aproove supports distributed teams, multiple regions, and high volumes of content with consistent workflows. Project timezone support handles cross-region scheduling. Multi-portal architecture supports separate audiences against a single backend. Auto-provisioning via SAML SSO scales user onboarding cleanly. The platform routinely runs hundreds of thousands of proofs per month at the largest enterprise customers.

How does Aproove handle high volumes of promotional assets?

Aproove is built for retail scale. The platform routinely runs hundreds of thousands of proofs per month across thousands of users, with tens of millions of permission sets supporting fine-grained access control. Deep zoom, pixel-level change detection, and the "changed" flag surface only what reviewers need to look at, so volume does not translate into linear review time.

How does Aproove use AI in the review process?

Aproove's AI Agent runs at the proof or section level, with section-level prompts firing in parallel across every selected proof in a flat plan. Common retail use cases include spell and grammar checks, regulatory copy presence verification, brand guideline validation, and pricing fine-print consistency across banner variants. AI-generated notes are prefixed with [AI GENERATED] in the audit trail, reviewers stay in control of every decision, and customer-controlled OpenAI API keys mean you use your own enterprise agreement with no training on your content. Permission to run specific prompts is controlled at the schema level, so different banners or teams can have different AI access scopes.

Can multiple teams review the same asset at once?

Yes. Marketing, pricing integrity, procurement, compliance, store ops, and external agencies can review in parallel, with Annotation Flow Management controlling which audience sees which markup. When parallel reviewers disagree, a designated conflict manager resolves the conflict, extends the deadline, or takes the decision.

Can Aproove run multiple banners on a single platform?

Yes. Aproove supports multiple login portals against a single backend with team-key restrictions per portal, so each banner can have its own merchandising team, schemas, workflows, and brand standards while sharing one platform, one audit trail, and one operational reporting layer. This is the deployment model used at Kroger across all 22 banner brands.

Does Aproove integrate with our scheduling and ERP systems?

Yes. Aproove integrates through hot folders, REST and RPC APIs, and webhook callbacks. Promotional projects can be created in Aproove automatically from a scheduling event, with milestone updates flowing back as decisions are made. More than 40 automated actions can fire on any workflow decision.

Can Aproove be hosted outside of AWS?

Yes. Aproove can be deployed as managed cloud (on Azure or other providers), on-premise inside your data center, or self-hosted in your own cloud tenant. There is no requirement to run on any specific public cloud, which matters for retailers that compete with the major cloud providers' commerce arms.

Does Aproove support packaging and in-store materials?

Yes. Packaging artwork (with full Pantone, dieline, and special-ink rendering), in-store signage, end-cap graphics, fixture layouts, weekly ads, direct mail, digital signage video, animated display HTML5, and the broader range of retail file types are all natively supported.

How does Aproove reduce errors in retail campaigns?

By rendering every proof in the production color space, surfacing only what has actually changed between versions, routing review to the right department through structured tags, capturing corrections in structured forms, and enforcing decision-driven approvals through a defined conflict-resolution path.

How does version control work?

Aproove auto-versions on content change (smart scan checks for actual differences, so duplicate uploads do not generate false versions), highlights the deltas at the pixel level, and keeps the full version history with side-by-side compare across any two versions or any two assets.

Can external partners and agencies be included?

Yes. External collaborators participate through controlled-permission tasks, with email whitelisting, identity enforcement, and team-restricted portal access available. Auto-provisioning via SAML SSO handles internal user lifecycle, while external partners can use credential-based access on a separate portal against the same backend.

Can Aproove be deployed entirely behind our network?

Yes. Aproove can be deployed on-premise inside your data center or self-hosted in your own cloud tenant, with no requirement for outbound connectivity to Aproove's managed cloud. National labs and federal engineering organizations commonly run Aproove in a multi-environment topology (development, QA, production) on customer-managed infrastructure, with customer-issued licenses tied to specific host IDs.

Does Aproove support PIV, CAC, and other federal authentication?

Aproove integrates with your SAML 2.0 identity provider, which is where PIV and CAC authentication is handled. Whatever credentials your IDP accepts (smart cards, hardware tokens, federation) Aproove honors via the SAML assertion. Mixed authentication is supported, so internal SSO users and external contractors can coexist on the same backend. Identity enforcement on tasks ensures tasks cannot be forwarded after authentication.
