How to Manage Feedback on Multi-Page Designs (without losing your mind)

Key Points:

  • Multi-page publications are notoriously difficult to manage, with scattered feedback, version confusion, and missed approvals slowing down even the most experienced teams.
  • GoProof simplifies the entire process by integrating directly with Adobe InDesign, enabling page-specific feedback, version control, and customized approval workflows, all in one platform.
  • Both agencies and in-house teams can speed up approvals, reduce errors, and improve collaboration by using GoProof to streamline the review process for magazines, brochures, and more.

Designing a beautiful brochure or magazine is only half the battle. The other half? Managing rounds of client feedback, editorial corrections, layout tweaks, and approval sign-offs, across dozens of pages and multiple stakeholders. That’s where many design teams hit a wall.

If you're tired of sending bulky PDFs, chasing email threads, or losing track of the latest file version, it might be time to try an online proofing tool like GoProof.

Why Multi-Page Projects are so Difficult to Review

Let’s face it, reviewing 36 pages of a product catalog or a 60-page magazine layout isn’t easy when feedback is scattered across emails, phone calls, or sticky notes on printed proofs.

Typical issues include:

  • Comments that aren’t tied to a specific page
  • Duplicate feedback from different reviewers
  • Files being renamed and re-sent endlessly
  • No way to track what’s been approved or changed

You need more than a markup tool, you need a smart system.


GoProof: A Better Way to Collaborate on Publications

GoProof provides a centralized space for clients, designers, editors, and managers to work together, without version chaos. Here’s how it helps you keep control over even the most complex projects:


InDesign Integration for Seamless Workflows
Instead of exporting a 100MB PDF, designers can send proofs straight from Adobe InDesign into GoProof. Changes are pushed live, and reviewers don’t need a Creative Cloud license to comment.


Page-Specific Comments Save Everyone Time
Whether it’s a headline on page 5 or a product image on page 18, reviewers can leave feedback in context. Designers instantly know what needs attention.


Real-Time Version Control
Need to know what changed between version 2 and version 4? GoProof tracks every update and makes it easy to compare revisions.


Print Workflow Tools Reduce Risk
Catch issues like missing bleeds, incorrect trim sizes, or low-res images before sending to the printer. Save money, and embarrassment.


Smart Approval Paths
Keep your internal creative team, account managers, and external clients all in sync with separate approval workflows.

What This Looks Like in Practice

A creative agency producing marketing brochures for a national retail brand used GoProof to streamline their high-volume, multi-page projects. With up to 15 brochures in production at any one time and between 4–6 stakeholders involved per piece, managing feedback had become chaotic.

Before GoProof, they were bogged down by version confusion, duplicated edits, and constant delays. After implementing GoProof, the agency reduced their final approval times by nearly 60% and eliminated missed comments entirely. Designers had clear direction, account managers gained visibility into progress, and clients enjoyed a more professional, transparent experience.

Why GoProof is not Just for Agencies

The benefits of online proofing extend far beyond creative agencies. In-house marketing and communications teams also face the same proofing hurdles when producing internal magazines, product catalogs, tourism guides, or educational literature. GoProof empowers these teams to bring in product managers, legal reviewers, compliance officers, and senior executives into the same collaborative workspace, without overloading inboxes or creating multiple file versions.

Everyone works from a single source of truth, approvals move faster, and nothing falls through the cracks. Whether you're designing for clients or internal stakeholders, GoProof helps you deliver polished, accurate publications on time, every time.

Smarter Proofing. Faster Approvals. GoProof.
