Slate has 10x’d our output and our social media channels are performing better because of the consistency they’ve been able to establish!

Collaboration
Review where you create. Replace the round-trip.
Slate’s collaboration tools keep the whole team, and anyone outside it, in one shared project: cloud-saved work, external review links, comments pinned to the exact frame, @mentions, project statuses, Editor and Viewer access, and approvals from the Slate mobile app. The post gets better without the file ever leaving Slate, and without a second tool to review it in.
Features
Shared projects, saved to the cloud
Every project autosaves and can be shared with the whole account or specific people. See the latest version, see who’s in it, and stop sending files back and forth.
Send a review link to anyone.
Clients, agencies, athletes, execs, legal: send one link and they review the live project in the browser, no Slate seat, no download, no re-export. Comments land on the exact frame and the fix happens in place. The round-trip that used to need Frame.io, email, and a shared drive is one link.
Comments pinned to the timestamp
Leave feedback directly on the canvas, or attach it to a time range on the video timeline. Reply, react, @mention a teammate, resolve the thread when it’s done.
Project status the whole team can see
In Progress, In Review, Needs Revision, Approved, Posted. Set it in the project or from the homepage, and everyone knows where every piece stands without asking.
Owner, Editor, Viewer
Give the whole team view access and a couple of people edit access. One person edits at a time; anyone with Editor access can take over when it’s their turn.
Approvals on mobile
From the Slate mobile app, send a post to one or more content reviewers with a note. They approve or reject with feedback, and you get the result by email before anything goes out.
Notifications that find the right person
@mention someone and they get an in-app notification and an email with a direct link to the comment. No more “did you see my note?”
Ask Rio AI to make the edit
Ask Rio for a first cut, then leave the cleanup, the comments, and the approvals to the team, all in one place. The AI makes the first pass; your people make the call.

Sarah Morse
Director of Social at Vanity Fair
Slate helps our social team move faster without relying on a designer. We’re now producing 5x more videos a week, testing and optimizing in real time.

Slate is a total game changer for our content team
Adena Jones
Director of Social & Digital at New York Knicks
This tool is incredible. This is actually incredible.
Julia Stern
Social Media Lead at Amazon
We did one season without Slate and it changed our lives when we got it.
Daniel Venn
Social Media Manager at St. Louis Cardinals
We couldn’t have done everything we’ve done without Slate. Our social engagement is up across the board, and more of our team can now contribute creatively.
Slate helps us move fast. When the Knicks won the NBA Championship, I captured their return to New York and edited it in Slate. FOS was first to post, and that speed made all the difference.
Christine Thuruthiyil
Director, Social at Front Office Sports
Slate is a tool that allows us to move very quickly and on brand when it comes to social creation.
Make it together
Feedback belongs in the project, not in a group chat. Comments stay attached to the exact frame, statuses stay visible to everyone, and the work keeps moving when someone’s out.

More about Collaboration
How does collaboration work in Slate?
Projects in Slate’s web creation studio save to the cloud and can be shared with your whole account or with specific people as Editors or Viewers. Teammates leave comments on the canvas or on a moment in the timeline, @mention each other, set a project status, and take over editing when it’s their turn.Who is Slate’s collaboration built for?
Social teams of two to two hundred who review work before it posts: a social lead approving an intern’s clip, a brand manager signing off on a sponsor graphic, an agency account team reviewing for a client, a newsroom desk editing reporters’ videos. Anyone who has ever lost a round of feedback in a group chat.Can two people edit at the same time?
One person edits at a time. Anyone with Editor access can take over control; the previous editor switches to view-only. Everyone sees the latest version.How do approvals work?
Admins and Brand Managers can be made content reviewers. From the Slate mobile app, a creator sends a post to one or more reviewers with a note; reviewers approve or reject with feedback, and the creator is notified by email.Can I leave feedback on a specific part of a video?
Yes. Comments on a video attach to a time range on the timeline, with a visible marker, so feedback points at the exact moment rather than describing it.What project statuses are there?
In Progress, In Review, Needs Revision, Approved, and Posted. Status can be updated inside the project or from the homepage.Can shared projects be opened on mobile?
Shared projects live in the web creation studio today. Projects created in the mobile app save to the device and can be sent for approval from the app.Can Slate replace Frame.io?
For social teams, yes. Frame.io reviews a rendered file: someone exports, uploads, waits for comments, then goes back to the editor to fix them and exports again. In Slate the review happens on the live project. Send an external review link to anyone, they comment on the exact frame in the browser with no seat, and the editor fixes it in place. Brand system, media library, approvals, and review are one tool instead of four.
