Welcome back to another Ask Me Anything (AMA) series, formerly known as Community Coffee Breaks! In the first customer-led AMA of 2025, we are partnering with Workfront Community Advisors Lyndsy D. (@Lyndsy-Denk), Monique E. (@MoniqueEvans), and Richard C. (@Richard__Carlson) to host a 1-hour AMA on Workfront Proofs. Join us on May 8th, 2025 from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM PST to get your Proof questions answered by an expert, and don't forget to RSVP to the right for event reminders on the day-of. Keep in mind this is a text-only event, there is no link/video to join! Just post your question as a reply to the thread and it will be answered during the 1-hour “event”.
What is Workfront Proof?
Workfront Proofing streamlines the review process for digital assets, allowing teams to collaborate on feedback and approvals in real-time. Workfront Proof supports over 150 file types, enabling diverse content reviews, offers intuitive markup tools for detailed feedback and supports robust version control to track changes. Lastly, with automated approval workflows, Proof ensures that the review process is efficient and organized.
Why do we need it?
-
Streamlined Workflow: Simplifies review processes by centralizing all feedback and approvals in one platform, reducing the chaos of email threads and ensuring that everyone involved has access to the same information.
-
Real-Time Collaboration: Teams can provide immediate feedback on digital assets, allowing for faster decision-making. Reviewers can annotate directly on proofs, making comments clear, actionable, and easier to understand.
-
Version Control: Workfront Proofing maintains a history of all changes and comments, enabling teams to track revisions easily.
-
Automated Approval Processes: Proof allows for customizable workflows that can automate the approval process, making it easier to manage complex review cycles. This feature helps ensure that deadlines are met without sacrificing quality.
-
Support for Multiple File Types: With the ability to handle over 150 file types, including dynamic media, Workfront Proofing is extremely versatile for all kinds of projects.
