Start with an identifiable review copy
ManyRequests advertises design proofing and version history. Those features help locate feedback, but your team still needs a consistent way to name review copies. Use an unambiguous version label and identify the intended output. A comment about “the blue one” becomes difficult to interpret after several revisions. Keep the current review file and earlier versions distinguishable without deleting the history that explains why a decision changed.
Turn reactions into decisions
“It feels busy” can begin a useful discussion, but the producer needs to know what the reviewer wants to achieve. Ask which audience, message or hierarchy is being missed. A helpful comment might identify the headline area and request stronger emphasis on the event date. Avoid converting every subjective reaction into a separate scope item before clarifying whether several comments describe the same underlying issue.
Resolve contradictory feedback before production
If two stakeholders ask for opposite changes, give the client a clear choice and identify the person who can decide. Do not let a designer guess which comment is authoritative because one arrived later. Keep the conflicting notes connected to the same version and record the resolution. Our recommendation is a single agreed review summary before the next production pass, particularly when the service includes a bounded revision allowance.
Close the loop on the next version
When presenting the updated file, state what changed and which feedback remains open. A new upload is not evidence that every comment was implemented or accepted. If a request could not be followed, explain the constraint rather than silently marking it done. Final approval should identify the delivered version. That small discipline makes later resizes, handoffs and scope discussions much easier than reconstructing decisions from a long chronological comment stream.
