Can my clients review and approve designs directly?
Yes. Clients get simple links, with no login, to approve or decline items, comment on renders with pinned notes, sign proposals, and message you, all tracked in MONA.
Yes. MONA gives your clients simple links that require no login or account, where they can approve or decline items, leave pinned comments on renders, sign or decline proposals, and message you. Everything they do is recorded in your workspace, so approvals stop living in text threads and email chains.
What clients can do
Approve or decline items. Send an approval link and your client sees the list of items, enters their name, and taps approve or decline on each one. You see the running tally of what is approved and what was declined and needs reselection.
Comment directly on renders. A render review link lets clients drop pins on the exact spot they mean, comment, reply, and even attach reference images. "Can the thing by the window be darker" becomes a pin on the thing by the window.
Sign proposals. Clients can review a proposal and sign by typing their full name, or decline with a note. The proposal's status updates the moment they act, and you can see when it has been viewed.
Message you in one place. A shared message thread keeps client conversation attached to the project instead of scattered across channels.
View a project portal. For an ongoing project, you can share a single portal link that brings these together: messages, approvals, proposals, invoices, a gallery, documents, the schedule, and your Slides presentations. You choose which sections are visible, and everything is off by default except messages until you turn it on.
Sharing presentations
Product presentations and decks share the same way: a public link your client opens in the browser, no login required. Presentations are private until you explicitly make them shareable.
Put decks in the client portal. Design services agreements, fee proposals and budget estimates built in Slides can live in the portal's Presentations section, so your client has one page for everything. Open the project, go to the Client tab, click Add presentations, and pick the decks. MONA turns on each deck's share link if it is off and switches the section on. You can also open a deck, click Share, and turn on Show in client portal. Removing a deck from the portal leaves the deck and its link as they are, and turning off a deck's share link takes it out of the portal too. You can also ask MONA in chat, for example "show the fee proposal deck in the Henderson portal".
Large files. Client portal documents can be up to 100 MB. Contracts store PDFs up to 15 MB, and a larger PDF (up to 100 MB) is compressed when you send it: photos are resized, while the text, pages and page sizes stay exactly the same, so signature fields land where you placed them. If a file is still too large, share the deck through the portal instead and send a lighter PDF, such as the agreement pages, for signature.
Privacy defaults
Everything starts private. A client can only see what you have explicitly shared, and portal sections are opt-in one by one. Share links are unlisted: anyone with the link can view that item, so share them as deliberately as you would a document link.
Frequently asked questions
Do clients need to create an account? No. Every client surface works from a link, with at most a typed name so responses are attributed.
Can I get a record of what was approved for ordering? Yes. Approvals are tracked per item in your workspace, with approved and declined tallies, so procurement starts from the recorded decisions rather than memory.
Is the signature legally binding? Proposals use typed-name signature with a recorded timestamp and status. For contracts that need formal e-signature law compliance, most studios pair MONA approvals with their existing contract tool.
