Conditional approvals
Require specialized review only when it’s warranted, so routine content isn’t bottlenecked while sensitive content gets the right eyes.
SlideSource Library · Feature
Approval workflows and audit trails for scientific presentation content
Capture who approved what, when, and why.
SlideSource Library routes scientific content through the reviews your organization requires and records every decision, so teams can see how content was approved and produce that history on demand.
The problem
Approvals that can’t be reconstructed
When sign-off happens over email and chat, no one can later say with confidence who approved a slide, when, or on what basis. That is exactly the question that matters most when content is challenged.
- Sign-off scattered across email
- No record of who approved
- Unclear what was actually reviewed
- Approvals that quietly expire
A complete record
The decision trail, captured automatically
Every approval records the reviewer, the timing, and the comments behind the decision, so the history of how a slide was reviewed is captured as part of the work, not reconstructed after the fact.
What you get
Review that mirrors how committees decide
A configurable path from review to sign-off to a complete, reproducible record, built around how scientific, medical, legal, and regulatory committees actually work.
- 1
Configurable review types
Define the review you need (Scientific, Medical, Legal, Regulatory, or SME) to mirror how your committees actually decide.
- 2
Multi-reviewer sign-off
Route content to the right reviewers and capture each sign-off, so approval reflects the people who actually reviewed it.
- 3
Comments and decision history
Capture who approved what, when, and with what comments: a complete record on every decision.
- 4
Lifecycle review
Review and expiration cycles per content type, with escalating alerts before evidence goes stale.
An example
A typical review path
Configure the chain your committees actually use, for example:
Built to flex
How the workflow flexes to real review
Delegation
Approvals route to a backup automatically when a reviewer is out, so nothing stalls because someone is at a congress.
Multi-reviewer (N-of-M) groups
Require all, or a defined quorum, of a review group to sign off, mirroring how committees actually decide.
Who it helps
Approval that works for everyone in the chain
Medical, Legal & Regulatory reviewers
Sign off in a defined chain, with your decision and comments captured on the record.
Scientific Communications
Move content through review without losing track of where it is or what’s blocking it.
Compliance
Reconstruct who approved what, when, and on what basis, on demand.
