Feedback that gets
the next cut right.
Keep the discussion beside the work. Your editor can see the exact moment, detail or line you mean.
- A moment in the video
- Leave a timestamped comment, or draw directly on an image or video frame.
- A thought worth explaining
- Add a voice note with a transcript, attach a reference or mention the person who can help.
- A clear revision to work through
- Reply in the thread, resolve feedback as it’s addressed and upload the next media version.
Team discussion. Client feedback.
Room for both.
Work through the details with your team, then keep the client conversation focused. Public and Private comments live on the same content, with a clear audience for each.
Keep the working notes private
Private comments stay with your workspace team and anyone you explicitly give Private comments access.
Bring the client into the conversation
Public comments are visible to people with brand access, so your client can follow the discussion and respond.
See what changed.
Keep what mattered.
Open an edit in Activity and see exactly what changed in the Plan, caption or first comment. Added words appear in green; removed words are struck through in red.
- Compare the words
- Switch between Changes and Full version to see the edit in context.
- Bring a good version back
- Restore an earlier version. The restore is saved as a new version, so you can retrace that change too.
- Keep the creative history, too
- Upload a new cut through Media Versions and keep earlier files and their feedback together.
A clear yes.
Or a clear next step.
Choose Approve when the work is ready, or Revise when it needs another pass. The decision is recorded on the post, alongside the feedback that explains it.
Make the changes, then send the post back for the relevant review. Your workflow can have its own approval steps and status routes.

Frequently asked questions
Are approvals included in the Free plan?
Approval workflows are included in Sequence Pro. Free includes media review tools, while sending work to approvers and collaborating with clients require Pro. See plan details.
Can I review the Plan before the video is ready?
Yes. Sequence supports Plan, Media and Final review stages, so you can collect a decision on the Plan before moving on to media and the finished post.
Can I leave feedback at a specific point in a video?
Yes. Sequence supports timestamped video comments and visual annotations so your editor can see the frame and the detail you mean.
Can I send several posts for approval together?
Yes. Select the posts in the planner and choose Send for approval. Default per post follows each post’s own review route, or you can choose one review step for the selection. Then choose the reviewer.
Can my team discuss work privately?
Yes. Private comments are visible to your workspace team and anyone explicitly given Private comments access. Public comments are visible to people with access to the brand. Share-link viewers only see public comments when the link includes Comments.
Can I see earlier versions of the work?
Yes. Activity records edits to the Plan, caption, platform-specific captions and first comment. Open View changes to compare the edit or read the full version. People with edit permission can restore an earlier version; captions and first comments on scheduled or published posts remain locked. Media Versions keeps your earlier creative files separately.
Does approving a post publish it?
No. With default routing, final approval moves the post to Ready to post. A person with publishing permission still needs to confirm the destinations and schedule or publish action in Publish.
