Storyboard review: approve before render

Turn on review so editors send you the storyboard before they render. Approve it or request changes with a note.

Updated November 9, 2026

Turn review on

Review is off by default: editors render when they’re ready. To check every storyboard first, open the project, the Settings tab, and turn on Require approval before render.

Review is set per project.

Review is about credits: a render costs credits, a check doesn’t. Catch a wrong photo or map before anything renders. It applies to editors’ videos only. The owner’s own videos render as usual.

Editor: send for review

When the storyboard is ready, press Send for review in the top right, where Render video usually is. The owner gets an email and a notification. The storyboard shows In review until they answer.

You can keep looking at the storyboard while it’s in review.

Owner: approve or request changes

Open the storyboard from the email, from the notification bell, or from to review at the top of Projects. The banner says who sent it.

  • Add note under a scene leaves a note on that scene. Everyone on the team sees it.
  • Approve: the editor gets an email and can render.
  • Request changes: write what to change and send it. Your scene notes go along with it.

Heads up. The approval is for the storyboard as it was. If anything changes after it, such as a frame, the text, the style or the music, the storyboard needs a new review before it can render.

Viewers can read the storyboard and add notes, but they don’t approve or render.
