Stakeholder Unable to See Proof

We have a stakeholder that is having issues with a project proof. He can see the proof only when we send him a direct link and not if he's logged in. He is setup as follows:

 
Permissions profile: Visitor
Status: Activated
Setup as a reviewer & approver
 
Anyone have an issue like this before? We want him to be able to see the proof when he is logged in so he can make proof comments.

I have some clarifying questions to help you resolve:

 

Can the user see the Documents tab on the left-hand side of the project screen?

Can the user see other documents or proofs in the project but not this one?

What is the License Type of the user in Workfront? (Planner, Worker, Standard, Light, Contributor, etc.)

Hi Kelly,

 

Can the user see the Documents tab on the left-hand side of the project screen? Yes

Can the user see other documents or proofs in the project but not this one? Yes

What is the License Type of the user in Workfront? (Planner, Worker, Standard, Light, Contributor, etc.) Light

 

Also he can actually see the proof from what i understand, but when he opens the proof it doesn't show him the most recent version, it is defaulting to another version.

 

I tried to log in as him and it works for me. I have a call scheduled w/him tomorrow so he can share his screen w/me so i can see exactly what he is seeing. If you think of anything in the meantime let me know. If not I'll reply tomorrow after i speak w/him to see if any new information is presented. Thank you.

If one of the replies above helped—whether it completely solved the issue or simply pointed you in the right direction—marking it as accepted can make it much easier for others with the same question to find a solution.
