Ask for contributions

Skip the endless follow-up emails. embargo sends the reminders for you.

Edit together, approve once

Every editor can shape the whole release. Fix a typo after it’s approved without starting another round.

Everyone knows what’s next

Each person sees what’s done and what’s waiting on them, so you never have to send a status update.

Invite everyone you need

Collaborators join free from a link in their email. Nothing to install, no account to set up.

A press page you’ll be proud of

When it goes out, it’s live on a polished page your partners can share and post on their own sites.
