How does Hoop Team Collaboration improve our review process?
Team Collaboration speeds up reviews by centralizing feedback and decision-making directly within the work. You can pull the right people into the right spot with inline context using comments and mentions. The platform supports adding stage-gates for necessary approvals, such as brand, legal, and regional checks, ensuring compliance and quality.
This feature makes handoffs airtight by keeping decisions visible on the timeline. Additionally, the version history allows you to see precisely what changed, by whom, and when, reducing confusion and rework. Faster reviews mean quicker time-to-market for your assets and campaigns.
What key benefits does in-context collaboration provide for my team?
In-context collaboration replaces scattered threads, ensuring all communication, assets, and decisions are tied directly to the relevant record. This reduces "switching costs" by letting users edit, review, and publish assets within Hoop. It also ensures alignment across departments.
The feature's key benefits include:
- Edit, review, and publish assets inside Hoop.
- Create tasks and tickets directly from comments.
- Attach files and tie decisions to records.
By keeping collaboration focused on the work itself, your team stays more productive and reduces the time spent searching for information.
Which Hoop plans include the Team Collaboration feature?
Team Collaboration is a core feature essential for efficient workflow management on the Hoop platform. Therefore, it is available across multiple pricing tiers to accommodate different organizational needs. The feature is included in the following plans:
While the basic functionality is in Core, higher tiers like Pro and Enterprise typically offer enhanced features such as more robust approval workflows, advanced permissions, and greater storage capacity for assets and records. Check your specific plan details for full feature access.
How does this feature handle team security and data privacy?
Secure collaboration is a priority within the Hoop platform, ensuring only authorized users access sensitive information. The Team Collaboration feature manages security through several methods designed to protect your records and documents.
Security measures include:
- Team-based permissions for records and docs, ensuring role-appropriate access.
- Private notes for sensitive threads that restrict viewing to specific collaborators.
- Export controls on shared content, preventing unauthorized external distribution.
This multi-layered approach gives teams confidence that their collaborative efforts are safe and compliant with internal policies.
How does this collaboration tool interact with my existing chat applications?
Team Collaboration is designed to complement, not completely replace, your existing chat applications. The primary function of in-record comments is to capture important decisions and feedback that require a permanent history tied to a specific asset or record. It helps keep the context where the work is happening.
It is recommended to use your chat tool for:
- Quick pings and informal communication.
- Real-time, general team updates.
- Discussions not tied to a specific deliverable or decision.
Using Hoop's collaboration features for decisions and chat for quick exchanges ensures clarity and a complete project history.
Can external partners and clients participate in the review process?
Yes, the Hoop platform allows you to securely include external partners and clients in the collaboration and review process when necessary. This is managed through selective sharing features to maintain control over your intellectual property and project data.
You can share content selectively with role-based access. This means you grant permissions based on what the external user needs to see and do. To ensure data security and time limits on access, you can also set an expiration date on shared access. This allows for efficient external collaboration while keeping your core data protected within Hoop.
What happens to crucial decisions after a project is finished?
Hoop ensures that project decisions and best practices do not disappear when a project closes. The platform helps you "make knowledge stick" by providing tools to formalize outcomes. You can turn key decisions, successful strategies, and processes into official playbooks and templates.
This capability ensures that the next project starts with best practices already built in, saving time and guaranteeing consistency across the organization. By structuring your knowledge, Hoop turns successful collaboration into repeatable organizational intelligence.
