Workfront proof: no copy option

Hello, 

I have noticed that proof copying should be possible in Workfront Proof. But I am unable to find the Copy -button. 

I checked with documentation, but cannot find a Copy -option. Is it possible that this feature has to be turned on somewhere in Workfront setup before it can be used?

I will link a picture of my view in Workfront proof when a proof is selected.

Documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/workfront/using/workfront-proof/work-with-proofs-in-wf-proof/create-proofs-and-files/copy-proofs#:~:text=a%20new%20proof:-,Go%20to%20any%20of%20the%20Views%20pages%2C%20as%20described%20in,new%20file%2C%20then%20click%20Create.

Do you have proper rights on the proof that you want to copy? You need a proof role that includes edit rights - you can see which of those have edit rights here.

If this helped you, please mark correct to help others : )

you’re providing a link to documentation that only applies to the “standalone” version of Proof (this is a separate product from Workfront core). It’s possible that you can create a copy of the file and hence the proof but equally likely that there’s no functionality that can create copies of the markups within (if that’s your eventual goal)
