Copywriters vs. proofing

Dear Community, I'd love to read some stories about convincing copywriters to use the proofing tool. Have you ever tried and succeeded, maybe failed? Can you share your experience? I'm struggling with some not easy members who use as the only and ultimate argument: track changes in Word. Other - less professional - arguments are: it's a piece of s&%it" , "I hate it" , "the reviewer is too dumb to use it" and similar. Should I force it or just give up? I definitely see the benefit from the reviewers', peers, collaborators' and our business perspective, but what I could "sell" so far was not enough to achieve a breakthrough. Thank you in advance, ImreMagyar VODAFONE Group

    I just re-remembered how I do this yesterday! If you create a team of people who need to upload versions and then SHARE the project with that team and give them the Manage access, it works. We don't have a lot of plan licenses and this is one of the primary workarounds that we use to give Workers more access.

    Just an idea: attachments can be added to a proof... :) I recognise that, it may be an overkill for a copywriter though. Imi ImreMagyar VODAFONE Group

    All great ideas and points. Yes, I was thinking that we would give them plan licenses and assign them to actual tasks, giving them contribute access on the project. I'll have to do some testing to see if that would let them version someone else's file though. Susie Lage Western Digital Corporation
