Within Mediabox-PA (Product Approvals) the "Messaging" tool provides a centralized location for all dialogue concerning the approvals process. Conversations can be made at the project and submission level and allow licensees and licensors to interact and make additional comments between stages.

For the licensee, “Messages” provides a means to ask the licensor more detailed questions about a change request.

For the licensor, "Messages" provides a means to give the licensee additional direction or changes that they may have forgotten to submit with the previous changes.

The "Messaging" feature is another value added tool that allows MyMediabox to help improve work flow, reduce time to production and save money between a licensor and licensee.
