Hi there,

Are there any planned features to deal specifically with file approval?

I’m a content manager that has a team reviewing various PDF files. I would ❤ love ❤ to have a separate interface/area of a task where review comments and file status (e.g. pending review, approved, pending changes) would be attached specifically to a particular version of the file. And a feature that could track versioning/revisions. Bonus if we could set up approved reviewers.

As it is now, all file review comments are mixed in with comments on the task itself. With a large team, this can be a mess for the designer to find and implement review comments.

I suspect some of these improvements have been considered, but I’m curious as to if they’re in development.

Happy New Year!
