Approval workflow software centralises communication and collaboration by providing a platform for stakeholders to review, comment, and approve requests.

With HIVO’s approval workflow software, you can:


Admins and users with an approval right can review and manage all of their upload, download and version approvals in the one location and receive automated email notifications when something needs action.

HIVO’ approval workflow software includes flexible staged approvals that can be saved as templates and will ensure an approval request is sent to different reviewers in your workflow from different teams, departments and partners automatically and at the right time.

Users can easily request review and approval on any asset version by a single user or a whole group of approvers. Working versions remain available on the asset for audit trail and can be hidden for downstream users once the final version is approved.

Light users can view and preview assets, including watermarked versions, and request approval by admins before being granted access by the admin to download. Requests can include the reason for download and the intended usage of the asset.

Simplify the process of accumulating feedback and securing approvals for your professional documents, videos, audio, designs and visually engaging presentations with HIVO’s side by side compare mode, commenting, review and online proofing tools.

Assets can be uploaded by light and external users and given a ‘pending upload approval’ status in a waiting room before being committed to your DAM. Assets are then reviewed and approved or rejected by admins before being published to your library.

Users can easily request review and approval on any asset version by a single user or a whole group of approvers. Working versions remain available on the asset for audit trail and can be hidden for downstream users once the final version is approved.

HIVO has an extensive range of integration, including a deep native integration with Monday.com which allows for seamless syncing of HIVO’s approval functionality including approval statuses, links to approved assets, collections and shared links, all available from within your Monday.com account.



HIVO allows you to build custom approval hierarchies and sequences tailored to your organisation’s structure. You can set up predefined routes that automatically notify specific team members, departments or external partners at the right time. By using staged approval templates, you ensure that a project only moves forward once every required stakeholder has provided their digital sign-off.
Yes. HIVO features robust online proofing and markup tools designed for professional documents, videos, audio files, and complex designs. Our “Side-by-Side Version Review” allows you to compare different iterations of a file simultaneously, while time-stamped commenting and visual annotations ensure feedback is clear, centralized, and easy for creators to action.
Absolutely. HIVO’s “Waiting Room” and external user permissions allow you to include outside partners in the workflow without giving them full access to your entire library. You can grant “Light User” status to external stakeholders, allowing them to preview watermarked assets and submit approval or download requests, which your internal admins can then review and authorize.
HIVO maintains a real-time, comprehensive approval history for every asset. This includes a timestamped record of who reviewed, commented on, or approved a version, and when. Even as assets evolve, previous working versions remain available for audit purposes (though they can be hidden from general users), ensuring you always have a “paper trail” for regulatory compliance and brand consistency
HIVO is designed to fit seamlessly into your current stack, featuring a deep native integration with Monday.com. This allows you to sync approval statuses, asset links, and shared collections directly within your Monday.com boards. By connecting your DAM and approval workflows with your project management tools, you eliminate the need to jump between platforms to see if a creative asset is ready for use.
