Add the same person twice to a proof review

We would like to add the same person to a review route twice in different stages. We have the project owners review proofs in stage 2, but then also need to review again in the last stage after everyone else has reviewed, so they can review other's comments, comment back for clarification or answer any questions.

Why is this feature important to you - Streamlines the process. Currently, the project manager has to reach out to the project owner after the route is complete to confirm there aren't any comments that need to be responded to, and wait for the project owner to reach back out to them when they've had the chance to review again. If they can be added again to the final stage, they will get the automatic email notification that it's their turn again. Once the review is complete, the PM knows it can be routed straight back to the necessary team without any additional steps in the process.

    We need to be able to have individuals appear in different stages. For example the studio manager has to appear in the final stage to have final approval on everything.

    For some clients the studio manager may also doing the artwork in the initial stages, therefor in the first or second stage.

    Our workflows are set up to have the studio manager on the final stage so he cant easily be added to the early stages, because he is in the final stage. We dont want to delete the final stage so have to put someone else in the final stage to trick the system. All of this is unnecessarily cumbersome.

      100% agree with this! When editing a manuscript, we would like to have our copywriter appear both after Editorial reviews the piece, and then again at the end of all stages when all reviewers and approvers are done so that they receive it back to incorporate the comments.

      One way this could work is if there's an automatic locking mechanism to ensure that if a single person is added to more than 1 stage, it would be required that it is in a linear workflow, and the initial stage that they are on must be set to Lock When All Decisions Are Made, thereby forcing their second review to be wholly separate and occur within the later stage.

      I wondered if anyone has an update on this yet? It doesn't look like it's possible yet but wanted to see if anyone had a workaround?

      Does anyone have any workarounds to share?

      This idea is currently being investigated by the Workfront Product Management team. An official response will be provided by the end of May. Thanks for your patience!

      @olivia_pappalardo In the new approvals system, adding the same individual to different stages will be supported when we build in multi-stage support. Most likely to come sometime the first half of 2025.

      Agree with this! We need more robust features for our Proofing system. It would be nice to have the ability to have external users be able to comment on a proof as well if they don't have an account.

      Thank you for your valuable feedback. This is a capability which will become available with the introduction of multi-stage workflows in our new unified review and approval experience powered by Workfront and Frame.io. It is one of our top priority items. As soon as the delivery date is finalized, we will announce it through our usual communication channels to keep you informed

      As mentioned in my previous comment, this is a capability which will become available with the introduction of multi-stage workflows in our new unified review and approval experience. 

       

      We’re moving this feature request to 'Accepted' since the solution design process for multi-stage workflows for unified approvals is now underway.
