Is there a way to automate reminders for individual proofs? We do not use automatic workflows, as each proof has different reviewers, so that is not an option for our team.

In Setup, you can configure a default proof deadline and an automatic nagging notification. See the screenshot attached. I recommend configuring these settings regardless of what type of workflow you use.

When we end a proof, we add a custom message, which contains our project number. But when we receive a notification that a decision was made on our proof, there is no tie in back to the original custom message subject, so we have to open the proof to see which project the notification is for. Is there any way to have the email subject in the response?

We have a user that is leaving comments on a proof but the comments get changed into something unreadable: REPLACE -y-|- ---$-sy-|--$ x-9--|------y- WITH (example). Anyone else experiencing this? Do you know what causes this? I have time set up with the user to do a screen share to see if we can recreate the issue, but I thought this group may have some insights or troubleshooting tips.

If you haven't already, please submit this to Support. That's definitely a bug of some sort

When creating a proof in Workfront Project (Document), how can we keep the "resolve" option available when pushed to the next stage with Creative? It seems to get lost so have been unable to make this transition... is it a permission or role that needs to be updated?

I have to wonder if this is a feature of staging. If no one else has insight, I would submit a ticket to support to ask.

During legal review/proofing stages, we periodically need to review older reviews. Is it possible to search not only for comments made, but also for something within the PDF or PowerPoint presentation? Is this doable? If so, how.

Thank you

Proof versions can help for side-by-side comparisons. And there is a way to export the comments from proofs.
