Design workflow glossary
Plain-English definitions of the terms freelance designers and studios use every day.
Design vault
A single, persistent home for every design file across every project — versioned, organised, and shareable with clients.
Auto-versioning
Automatic file versioning by filename — re-upload a file with the same name and it becomes v2, v3, v4 without manual renaming.
Client share portal
A read-only, branded URL where clients preview, annotate, and approve design files — without a login.
Design proof
A version of a design submitted to a client for review and feedback before it is finalised.
File annotation
A comment pinned to a specific location on a design file (e.g. a spot on an image or a page in a PDF).
Version history
The full timeline of every version of a file — who uploaded it, when, and at what state.
Approval workflow
The flow that takes a design from "submitted for review" to "approved final" with a clear record of who approved what.
Project section
A grouping inside a design project — typically Concepts, Revisions, and Final Files — that mirrors how design work moves through stages.
File request link
A dedicated upload-only URL sent to a client so they can drop files into a project section without seeing the project.
Brand kit
A bundled set of brand assets — logos, colour palette, typography, and usage rules — kept in one place for designers and clients to reference.
