Greenlight

Goodbye reply-all. Hello sign-off.

Upload. Review. Approve. Every Document — Every Time.

Instead of sending document drafts by email, collecting feedback in tracked changes across multiple versions, losing comments in email threads, and having no clear record of who approved what and when, teams get a structured workflow that routes every document to the right reviewers, collects comments in one place, and records every approval decision.

A single document approval system that helps your business:

Upload documents and route them to defined reviewers and approvers in sequence
Collect reviewer comments on each version with the reviewer's name and date
Upload revised versions and maintain a complete version history from draft to approval
Track document status through each stage of the review and approval workflow
Notify all stakeholders automatically at each stage — submission, review, revision request, and approval
Record every approval decision with the approver's name, date, and digital sign-off
Maintain an immutable audit trail of the full review and approval history for every document
Archive approved documents with their full history and version log
What changes

The difference it makes to your business.

From documents circulated by email → to a structured upload and routing workflow

Documents are uploaded once to a central system and routed to the right reviewers automatically — eliminating email thread fragmentation and ensuring every reviewer receives the correct version.

From comments in tracked changes across multiple files → to a consolidated comment thread

All reviewer feedback is recorded in a single comment thread against the document — with the reviewer's name, date, and the specific clause or section referenced.

From multiple document versions in email attachments → to a structured version history

Every revision is uploaded as a new version linked to the same document record. The version history shows every draft, who reviewed it, what was changed, and when each version was approved or superseded.

From unclear approval status → to a real-time stage tracker

Every document has a current stage displayed — draft, in review, revision required, approved, or archived — visible to all stakeholders without needing to ask for a status update.

From informal approval records → to a documented and timestamped approval sign-off

Every approval is recorded with the approver's name, role, date, and any final comments — creating a verifiable record of who authorised each document and when.

Everything that brings the outcome to life.

Document Workflow Dashboard

An overview of all active documents by status — draft, in review, revision required, pending final approval, and approved — with assigned reviewers and days in current stage.

Document Detail Page

A complete view of each document — including the current version, approval status, assigned reviewers, comment thread, version history, and the full approval audit trail.

Review and Comment Panel

A structured interface where reviewers add, edit, and resolve comments — with the reviewer's name, date, and the referenced section or clause clearly recorded.

Version History Log

A chronological record of every version uploaded — with upload date, uploaded by, a change summary, and the review outcome for each version.

Approval Sign-Off Record

A documented record of every approval decision — including the approver's name, role, date, and any final comments — forming the official approval record for the document.

Stakeholder Notification System

Automatic email or in-app notifications sent to the relevant stakeholders at each stage — ensuring no action point is missed and every party is aware of the document's current status.

Pending Approvals Report

A summary of all documents currently awaiting review or approval — with document name, assignee, days in stage, and deadline — for workflow management.

Document Archive

A searchable store of all approved documents — with their full version history, comment logs, and approval records — accessible for reference, audit, and regulatory review.

How it works

A clear path from need to outcome.

01

Upload and Configure the Document

The document owner uploads the file, assigns a category and reference number, and configures the review workflow — selecting reviewers and approvers in the required sequence.

02

Submit for Review

The document is submitted to the first reviewer. The reviewer receives a notification with a link to the document and the review deadline.

03

Reviewer Adds Comments and Decides

The reviewer reads the document, adds comments with section references, and either approves the version for progression or requests revisions — summarising the required changes.

04

Document Owner Revises and Resubmits

The owner addresses the reviewer comments, uploads a revised version with a change summary, and resubmits it for review. The new version is linked to the same document record.

05

Approval Stage

Once all review stages are complete, the document is presented to the final approver. The approver reviews the current version and comment resolution history, then gives final sign-off.

06

Notifications Issued and Document Archived

All stakeholders receive a notification of the approval. The approved document is marked as final and archived — with the complete version history and approval record retained.

07

Access and Reference

Approved documents are accessible to authorised users through the archive. Any subsequent revision creates a new document workflow, with the previous approved version retained in the history.

Built-in controls

Confidence in every workflow.

The solution ensures document integrity and maintains a complete, verifiable approval record.

Sequential Workflow Enforcement

Documents cannot skip a review stage. Each stage must be completed — with an explicit approval or revision decision — before the document progresses to the next reviewer.

Version Linking and Supersession

When a new version is uploaded, it is automatically linked to the existing document record as the current version. Previous versions are retained in the history and marked as superseded.

Comment Resolution Tracking

Comments must be resolved or acknowledged before the document can progress to the next stage — ensuring no reviewer feedback is overlooked or silently ignored.

Immutable Approval Records

Approval sign-offs cannot be deleted or modified after they are recorded. The approval record is retained permanently with the document — regardless of subsequent revisions.

Review Deadline Alerts

Reviewers who have not acted within the configured review window receive an automatic reminder. The document owner and workflow administrator are notified if a deadline is missed.

Access-Controlled Document Viewing

Documents can only be viewed and reviewed by users assigned to the relevant workflow — ensuring confidential drafts are not accessible to unauthorised parties.
