The Cost of Clutter: How Poor Version Control is Killing Your Margins

If you can’t confidently answer the question, “Is this the final, approved file?” then you have a Version Control problem. And that problem is costing you money.

For every hour a team member spends searching for the right file, or reviewing an outdated Document Proofing file, that money is lost.

The Hidden Costs of Manual Version Control

• Wasted Time: Teams spend up to 15% of their time searching for information.

• Rework: Reviewers accidentally give notes on an older version, forcing the designer to redo work on the latest file, resulting in unnecessary Avoid Revisions.

• Legal Risk: Launching the wrong version can lead to factual errors or outdated disclaimers.

The Solution: Automated, Integrated Version Control

A dedicated Creative Project Management platform like proofrr makes Version Control effortless:

• Seamless Overlays: Every time a new draft is uploaded, the system automatically marks it (V2, V3, etc.).

• Locked Approvals: Once a version is officially approved, the file is locked.

• Simplified Audit Trails: The entire chain of review, Creative Feedback, and approval remains attached to the asset.
