What can Backboard do for me?
Backboard makes it easy to securely collect feedback and approval on documents, presentations, graphics, and websites.
Use it with your team in the office or around the world. There are no meetings to schedule and Backboard handles all of the coordination for you.
Collaborate with your team
With one click, request feedback from your co-workers, your project teams, your clients, or anyone.
You can create groups for each of your project teams, and import contacts from Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or LinkedIn.
Useful, contextual feedback
Reduce confusion by leaving markup directly on the document. Backboard offers the tried-and-true red pen, ideal for highlighting, circling, and annotating.
Leaving text comments is just as easy, so your team has no excuse not to participate. To keep the discussion active, participants are automatically notified when there is new feedback.
Iterate with new versions
Most work requires multiple versions to get right.
Backboard makes it easy to add new versions of your document, so you can view all of the iterations at the same time.
Enterprise-grade security
Backboard has several options to make sure your confidential documents are protected.
The strongest security settings (available with premium plans) include industry-standard SSL Encryption and let you restrict access to just the people you explicitly invite.
Keep a permanent record
Your My Backboards page is a permanent record of old Backboards, versions, and feedback — automatically maintained for you.
Full email integration
Backboard-by-Email makes it easy to create a Backboard on the fly.
Simply copy on your next team email message and attach the document you want feedback on. Backboard will create a new Backboard from your document and reply to everyone with the link, allowing your team to leave feedback in one centralized place.
You can even set security levels and enable approval on Backboards created by email.
Easy desktop upload
