Whether you’re opening CROOW for the first time, or simply trying to maximize your effectiveness in our application, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to our user guide, a step-by-step instruction manual that can help ground you in your CROOW experience.

CROOW, In Context
Features that Make the Difference for You
We haven’t forgotten about the details. CROOW is made for creatives, project managers, marketers, and pirates of all kinds, but we recognize that all digital gurus are different. That’s why we are constantly improving CROOW’s capabilities. Here are some up-to-date productivity tips and tidbits based on your specific role and setting.
Share approvals publicly or privately among colleagues by easily copying and pasting the provided access links. Clients and crew members alike can view these links through CROOW, via email, Slack, or any other chat system.
Maximize efforts by first uploading assets to your brand library. Then the files can be assigned, reviewed, updated – and the entire process tracked and saved.
Toggle between pre-existing templates when using the concepting tool. Once again, if your brand assets are uploaded, you’ll be able to source them here.
Utilize calendar view for an overview of your crew’s monthly tasks. If you prefer the checklist mode that’s fine too, but calendar view helps crews to see the big picture. You can even filter your calendar to see what you’ve assigned out, in addition to your own tasks.
Invite your crew members to relevant workspaces so that you can assign to-do’s, provide deadlines, and add material for revision and approval. All activity tracked in one place, so no one has to walk the plank.
Follow along with your crew’s progress by viewing their activity log. They can filter their report by activity type and/or date if they choose, and with the click of a button, export an excel document for your reference.
Submit requests to your team members based on their individual role and project. Whether it’s a new webpage, social media content, or a sale brochure – there’s a request template on deck.
If video is your primary medium, you’ll probably need our premium usage package. The free version only allows videos that are 10M or less.
For optimal collaboration, upload videos in mp4 format.
To comment directly on video, simply use your cursor to click and drop pins. The pin will automatically track the initial timestamp of the comment, letting you adjust the end time. The pins can also be selectively hidden or displayed during video playback.
Once a comment has been reviewed, you don’t need it cluttering your screen. Feel free to archive it, so you can refer back later if need be.
Utilize the keyboard shortcuts when wireframing to save yourself time. Simply click m, I, and t, on your keyboard to toggle between commands while creating mockups.
Never lose track of work with the time-tracking tool. Label various activities and initiate the timer to record your efforts. You can even assign each activity to a designated workspace to organize by project or client.
Invite clients to join via email in order to seamlessly collaborate and receive feedback on brand assets and marketing material.
