Visibility of Proofs' Stage within the Document section of a Project when pending Approval

Description - Our Project/Account managers work on several proofs whose statuses they would like to see under the document section, within a Project. The issue is that some of the proofs have multiple stages which have different statuses. Until the proof is approved across all the stages, the status that is provided under the document section within a project is pending. This is vague as it doesn't mention or provide the current stage of the proof on a high level, so that they can easily know the stage in which the proof is stuck or pending within the proofing workflow. This requires going into the proof manually to find it, which is time-intensive.

Why is this feature important to you - This is important because, in a project where there are multiple proofs with multiple stages, it would be easy and efficient to identify the current stage and status of a proof without having to open each of them, thereby allowing project/account managers to easily have an update on the Proof approval process flow.

How would you like the feature to work - My expectation is to have the ability to easily view the stage within which a proof is pending or requiring changes on a high level. For example, if there are 3 stages namely: Internal Review, Stakeholder Review, and Compliance Review, the expectation is to be able to see that a Proof is currently "Pending approval" under the "Stakeholder Review" stage, having passed through the Internal Review stage.

Current Behaviour - It only shows the "Proof Status" (SOCD) and "Pending", when the final stage of the proofing workflow is yet to be approved, but does not display the current stage in which this proof is waiting for a decision.
