Clear permissions before you publish

See SPOT clear the permissions before you publish

Releases that name another company, a public figure or someone else's claims often need that party's authorization before they can run. Source Verification reviews your release during submission and tells you early, so you can start the process right away.

Who it’s for

No more last-minute authorization scrambles

Too often a release reaches editorial before anyone realizes it needs third-party authorization. Getting it on a tight deadline, with contacts out of office, is stressful. With Source Verification built into submission, you know before you publish that a sign-off is needed, and you can start asking for it straight away.
