As above .. workfront has taken 20 mins to create a proof and still hasn’t done it. How do you cancel the job and start again?

    I don’t know if there’s a way to stop a proof from generating anymore. You should resign yourself to either deleting the version (if you uploaded it as a version to an existing doc) through the document summary panel (at the bottom), or delete the document, if it is just a one-off upload.

    Exactly, there is no way to cancel a proof generation. I usually just opt in to deleting a document. If this is happening in production often, I would also create a ticket with Adobe Support.

    If this solved your issue, please mark it as solved so others can find the solution faster.
