Scattered
Feedback lands in too many places.
Client comments can end up in email, Slack, Docs, calls, spreadsheets, and screenshots.
Feature · Client ReviewClient review portal
Let clients approve content without GitHub access.
Acrosite gives Client Reviewers a dedicated review dashboard where they can see assigned projects, review assigned content, comment, approve, or request changes — without seeing GitHub, deployment settings, billing, team settings, or unrelated projects.

The client review problem
Approvals get messy when feedback lives everywhere.
Client sign-off should be simple. Without one place to do it, feedback scatters, status blurs, and clients end up closer to your internal tools than they should be.
Exposure
Clients should not see internal tools.
GitHub, deployment triggers, billing, team roles, and project settings should stay inside the team workspace.
Unclear
Review status becomes unclear.
Teams need to know what is waiting for a client, approved, or sent back for changes.
Out of context
Approvals need context.
Clients should review the actual content item, not disconnected copy pasted into another tool.
Boundary
Every client should see only their work.
Client Reviewers should not see unrelated projects, internal notes, or other clients.
Gating
Publishing should wait for the right approval.
Approved content can move forward. Content with requested changes should return to the team.
Client Reviewer dashboard
Clients get their own review dashboard, not a pile of one-off links.
Client Reviewers log in once and see the projects and review work assigned to them. They can find what needs review, what was approved, what needs changes, and what has already been published — without entering the internal workspace.

Access boundary
Client Reviewers only see what they are assigned.
Project-level access lets a Client Reviewer participate in reviews for that project, but individual content visibility depends on assignment or review submission status. The boundary is built in, not bolted on.

Visibility control
Internal teams keep the full workflow. Clients get the review view.
The internal team works with the complete platform. Client Reviewers get a deliberately smaller surface — only what review needs.

Setup checklist
What you need before your first client review.
A short list to confirm before sending content out — most of it is part of normal content setup.
1
Project access
Invite the Client Reviewer to the project.
2
Account acceptance
The reviewer accepts the invitation and logs in or creates an Acrosite account.
3
Content item
Create the Post, Page, or Custom Content Type item that needs review.
4
Review assignment
Submit or assign the content for client review.
5
Review instructions
Add clear context so the reviewer knows what to check.
6
Client visibility
Confirm that the reviewer only sees assigned projects, assigned content, and review history where they are involved.
Client Review FAQ
Questions about client review.
Access, what a reviewer can do, publishing control, visibility, and which content types apply — the specifics teams ask before inviting a client.
