Edit Microsoft Documents in Proofing tool

This is an ancient pain-point with the Proofing tool. Having to utilize a separate approvals process for Word/text documents causes unnecessary confusion and process complication--especially with new users and new implementations.

For everyone who has upvoted this idea, I wanted to let you know that there IS a stopgap solution. If you upload an interactive Proof with a OneDrive or Google link, you will be able to edit the file if you've been granted edit access rights via the link or sharing settings. See screenshot.

Please note that the Interactive Proof viewer is effectively an internet browser, so you will need to authenticate your access to OneDrive, etc. just like if you opened a new incognito browser on Chrome, except with no autofill/saved passwords. So it's especially clunky for SSO users with double authentication... but that's not Workfront Proof Viewer's fault, it's just corporate security protocol doing its thing. Recommend running some tests to see if this is a good fit for your org.

Hi @Katie George - Totally understand the note re: "it's just corporate security protocol doing its thing". As a result of our corporate security protocol, neither OneDrive nor Google link are viable options for our organization.

Specifically looking for methods to have a marked up adobe pdf to retain the markup/comments once uploaded to Proofs. Any suggestions/workarounds welcome!!

What is the latest on this enhancement? We also need this to function and the work around is not effective.
