What Final Version adds
A review round, without the workspace
Your workspace stays yours
Reviewers get a link to one draft. They don’t join a workspace and they never see your other pages.
One holder at a time
The draft is with one person until they send it back, so there are no edits landing on top of each other.
Every round, kept
Each round is a version of its own: who sent it, who reviewed it, and what changed. Comments keep their outcome, accepted or dismissed.
Works with your AI
Draft in ChatGPT or Claude and say “send this to Priya.” When it’s back, your AI can write the next version.
