Quick verdict
Approval receipts that protect scope and remove sign-off ambiguity
Email approvals are easy to lose and hard to verify later. A quick 'approved' reply rarely captures the exact version reviewed, the final decision context, or a reliable audit trail that both sides can reference. That becomes risky when scope changes are requested after approval. ClientProof solves this by creating a receipt for every approval decision. The receipt includes the client name, the deliverable name and version, the decision timestamp, a unique verification code, and a confirmation statement. Teams can print or save the receipt as PDF, and clients can access the same record from the project page. This creates practical protection without extra admin work. Instead of reconstructing old email threads during disputes, agencies can point to a permanent approval log tied to specific files and milestones. Every receipt is stored in the project history, so approvals stay clear long after delivery.
Teams usually adopt this workflow to reduce repeated recap messages, avoid tool-switching confusion, and give clients one clear destination for updates, files, and decisions.

- Printable and PDF-friendly format for project records and handoff documentation

Frequently asked questions
What is a client approval receipt?
A client approval receipt is a document that records when a client approved a specific deliverable, including a timestamp, verification code, and the name of the file approved. ClientProof generates one automatically for every approval decision.
Can my client download their approval receipt?
Yes. The approval receipt is accessible to both the agency and the client and can be printed or saved as a PDF directly from the project page.
What happens if a client disputes an approval?
Each approval receipt contains a unique verification code tied to the specific decision, the client's identity, and a timestamp. This provides documented evidence of what was approved and when.
Is the approval receipt legally binding?
An approval receipt provides documented evidence of a client decision but is not a substitute for a formal contract. It is most useful as a scope protection tool that establishes a clear record of what was reviewed and agreed upon.
Does every approval automatically generate a receipt?
Yes. Every approval decision in ClientProof, whether approved or changes requested, automatically creates a timestamped receipt record. No extra steps are required.
Where are approval receipts stored?
Approval receipts are stored permanently in the Approvals tab of each project and are accessible at any time. They are never deleted when a project is archived.
