Frictionless UI/UX Prototype Approval

Why Traditional Prototype Reviews Stall

Design teams often rely on tools that demand client accounts, causing hesitation, forgotten passwords, and delayed feedback. Clients drop into email threads, screenshots, or messy comment threads, and designers lose track of which version was finally approved.

The Core Friction Points

• Account creation barriers for clients.
• Multiple logins across different platforms.
• Scattered comments that lack timestamps.
• No immutable record of the final sign‑off.

A One‑Click, No‑Login Solution

File Approved eliminates every barrier. Creators upload their prototype (PDF, interactive HTML, or image series) and generate a short, shareable link. Clients open the link on any device, add comments directly on the design, and click a single Approve button. The system instantly creates a certified, timestamped approval record.

How File Approved Solves Each Problem

• No account required: Clients click the link, review, and approve without signing up.
• One‑click sign‑off: A single button records the reviewer’s name, time, and file version.
• Paper‑trail certificate: A downloadable approval certificate eliminates version disputes.
• Version history: Upload new prototype versions without losing prior comments.

Step‑by‑Step Workflow

1. Upload your prototype file (PDF, PNG, or a zip of HTML assets).
2. Add reviewer details and any custom fields such as project name or invoice number.
3. Copy the generated short link and share it via email or chat.
4. The client opens the link, uses the Point & Comment tool to annotate screens, and adds any notes.
5. When the client clicks Approve, File Approved sends you an instant email and attaches a Certificate of Approval.
6. Keep the certificate in your records; it serves as proof for invoicing and protects against scope creep.

Comparison with InVision

InVision offers powerful prototyping but forces every reviewer to create an account, which adds friction and often leads to abandoned feedback sessions. File Approved provides the same annotation capabilities without the login hurdle, plus an automatic approval certificate that InVision lacks.
