Asset counts, deadlines, change costs, and a closing sign-off sit on one page your client can actually finish. ### Get the yes without leaving the page The agreement section sits at the end of your story, so clients sign right there instead of downloading, printing, and emailing back. ### Assemble the document from proven pieces Pull a hero, gallery, or steps section from the library, then save your own tweaked versions to reuse on the next project. ### Every section looks right on any screen Your gallery, accordion, and animated text reflow on phones and tablets without a second layout to fix. ### See which sections hold attention Heatmaps show if readers linger on the gallery or skip the steps, and replays let you time your follow-up. ### Know the moment they open it A ping tells you when a client views, comments, or signs, so you can reply while the document is still on their screen. ### Build the document together, live Your writer tweaks the text while a designer swaps gallery images and you reorder tasks, all in the same document. ## See how every part fits The page opens with the deadline and asset count, then moves through the work, the changes, and the rules, and closes on a signature and launch date. Keep, drop, or reorder anything to match how your clients review. ### Creative Sign-Off Hero with Deadline and Asset Count Opens with the Round 2 sign-off request, the April 15 deadline, 36 assets and the May 3 flight date. Clients instantly see what is being asked and when, with agency attribution for credibility. ![](https://cdn.formlio.com/content/section-f13b9c52-253a-4165-af30-caf5714b5826-1.jpg) ### Approval Scope Summary: Vertical Cuts, Statics and Final Copy Spells out exactly what signing locks: 14 vertical cuts and 22 statics for Meta, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

A round 2 approval document should state what the client is approving, describe the work delivered, and highlight the main change made. It should also summarize what has changed since round 1 and explain what happens after sign-off. This keeps feedback focused and avoids scope creep. ### How do I customize this round 2 approval template for my project? Replace the placeholder text in each section, starting with 'What you are approving' and 'The work,' with your project's specific deliverables. Update 'The main change' and 'Since round 1' to reflect actual revisions, and edit 'After you sign' to match your next steps, timelines, and payment terms. Add your branding, logo, and project name to finish. ### What is the purpose of the 'Since round 1' section? The 'Since round 1' section shows the client exactly which feedback was applied and which changes were made between revision rounds. It builds trust by proving their input was addressed. It also creates a clear record that helps prevent disputes over unaddressed requests. ### What happens after a client signs off on round 2? Once the client signs, the approved work is considered final and the project moves to the next stage, such as final file delivery, launch, or invoicing. The 'After you sign' section should spell out these steps, including timelines and whether further changes will be billed as extra revisions. This sets clear expectations and protects your scope. ### Is this template suitable for freelancers, agencies, and creative projects? Yes, this template works for freelancers, agencies, and in-house teams delivering design, web, copywriting, video, or other creative work with multiple revision rounds. Its structure is flexible enough to adapt to any deliverable that requires formal client approval. You can edit it in your preferred document editor and export it as a PDF to send for signature. ## Related - [Cairns](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/cairns-monthly-marketing-performance-report): Professional template for your business needs - [Kelowna](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/kelowna-market-entry-strategy): Market entry strategy for consumer brands - [Winnipeg](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/winnipeg-marketing-campaign-plan): Campaign plan for footwear launch marketers - [Geelong](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/geelong-agency-client-onboarding): Agency client onboarding plan for ecommerce brands - [Boston](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/boston-event-retainer-proposal): Monthly event retainer proposal for brands - [Toronto](https://pr-110.preview.formlio.com/templates/toronto-brand-relaunch-proposal): Creative campaign proposal for consumer brands
