Features · Organized by workflow

From load-in to delivery.

We've laid the product out the way you actually run an event — five stages, in order. Pick any stage to see what ApprovalTrack handles, and what it gets out of your way.

Standout features

The smaller things that turn out to matter most.

Capabilities that don't fit cleanly into the workflow story — but the ones every team mentions on demo call number two.

Favorites & kudos
Photographers see which frames the client loved. Burnout-aware.
Storage management
Live gauges with warnings. No 11pm disk-full panic.
Trash + auto-purge
Soft-delete, configurable window. 30 days, then gone.
Multi-party approval
Sequential workflows. Internal, then client.
Mobile-ready everywhere
Upload from the pit, approve from the bus. No desktop required.
Client re-access flow
Link expired? Clients request access in one tap. You get notified, send a new link, done.
Deadline reminders
Photographers get a heads-up before the window closes. Fewer last-minute scrambles.
Download-ready notifications
Large gallery? Queue it and walk away. You'll know when it's ready.
See it on real frames

Bring a recent event. We'll walk through it together.
