Review
Where governance meets collaboration
The review stage is where governance and collaboration come together to ensure your content is polished, aligned, and ready for publication.
👌 Handle feedback like a pro
Let’s be honest: receiving feedback after hours of work can feel personal. But feedback, when done right, is an opportunity to grow and improve your skills. The key is fostering a culture where feedback is constructive and welcomed.
“We try to educate our employees to be more proactive with their feedback. We really like pushing for the radical candor method that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to become better at giving and receiving feedback.”

“I don't ever want to be the bottleneck for my team. That's why I surround myself with people I can trust and rely on. I make sure they're equipped and have the knowledge they need to know what can be validated and what can't. Simple as that. Trust your people, and you'll be rewarded for it.”
Richard Francis, VP of Marketing at Foleon

😦 Feedback rounds: how many is too many?
While feedback is essential, there is such a thing as too much. Take Google’s infamous 500-stakeholder logo approval process as an example—clearly overkill! Managing feedback rounds effectively means trusting your team and keeping the number of reviewers manageable.
👀 Use the Review Mode
Foleon’s Review Mode is such an unsung hero for managing approvals. It allows you to share your content with stakeholders—even if they’re not users of the platform. Reviewers can easily provide feedback, streamlining the entire process while maintaining governance.
👉 Assign User Roles to Enable Governance
Assigning the right roles ensures smooth collaboration while keeping control over the content process. Roles like Reviewer, Editor, and Publisher provide clear boundaries, so everyone knows their responsibilities. This structure minimizes errors and keeps workflows efficient.
Proof that it works
Here's another great example of how to handle the review process and win time.
Vitality's team publishes a seasonal customer magazine. When the go-live deadline approaches, things can be intense. They use Foleon's Review Mode and collaboration capabilities to streamline this process and meet their deadlines.
