Check an Ad Against Brand Guidelines

This use case demonstrates how to check an advertisement against brand guidelines. You will paste your brand guide into Revdoku to generate a compliance checklist, run Review on the ad, then upload a revised version and let Revdoku re-check the prior issues automatically.

Step 1: Open the Envelopes inbox in Revdoku.

Open the Envelopes inbox in Revdoku. The inbox lists the documents you can review.

Step 2: Paste the brand guide.

Paste the brand guide. In the Add Checklist dialog, paste the typography, brand name, and tagline rules into the Paste text or describe what to check field.

Step 3: Generate the rules.

Generate the rules. Revdoku turns the pasted brand guide into a 14-rule Fog & Bean Coffee Brand Compliance checklist. Each rule is editable.

Step 4: Review ad-v1.pdf.

Review ad-v1.pdf. Click Review and Revdoku analyzes the ad against the 14 rules with Google Gemini.

Step 5: Wait for the report to finalize.

Wait for the report to finalize. Revdoku finishes the checks and writes the report.

Step 6: Upload a new revision.

Upload a new revision. Click Upload New Version and drop ad-v2.pdf into the dialog to replace ad-v1.

Step 7: Re-review the new revision.

Re-review the new revision. Revdoku starts a fresh review on ad-v2.pdf, re-checking the 5 prior issues and verifying the 9 prior passes.

Step 8: Wait for the v2 checks to run.

Wait for the v2 checks to run. The Reviewing checks stage compares v2 against the same 14 rules.

Step 9: Read the issues on v2.

Read the issues on v2. The ad now shows three new issues, including a misspelled tagline (SMALL BATCH ROASTRS SINCE 2012) and a banner color outside the palette.

Step 10: Filter to re-checks only.

Filter to re-checks only. Pick Re-checks Only in the dropdown to see only the 5 checks that changed between v1 and v2.

Step 11: Read the v2 report.

Read the v2 report. Revdoku scores ad-v2.pdf at 79% (11 passed, 3 failed, +15% vs v1) and lists 2 resolved and 3 unresolved findings.
