Proof Reviewer Report

@jasonbarron, in the quarterly update meeting yesterday you mentioned the new approvals feature allows for any user added as a reviewer to see reviews waiting for them. Has this function been developed yet for proof? It would be extremely beneficial to be able to run a report on this to add to their dashboard.

Hello!

We are piloting it with a small group of users. It does seem to help with proof visibility, and we found that having the marketing managers (rather than designers) follow this new process is clearer for everyone.

@brendada3Great question! The New Approvals feature is a standalone approvals engine and represents the future for approving all assets in Workfront. Currently, the Proofing tool has its own viewer and approvals engine.

 

You can use the New Approvals alongside proofs. However, we are not making enhancements to the proof approvals engine. For example, you could upload an asset, create a proof from it, and then use the New Approvals feature for that asset instead of assigning approvers through the proof interface.

 

By doing this, you can add reviewers to the proof via the New Approvals feature. These reviewers will see any assets awaiting review in their All Approvals widget, and the information will appear in reports. Please note that data from the New Approvals feature is only accessible through the new canvas dashboards for reporting. While this functionality is in beta, we can enable the new canvas dashboards in your environment if needed.

    This is a good step BUT I've found the new documents approval to be clunky and hard to use, both for those creating proofs and those reviewing them. For example, reviewers have to actively click into the proof to review it, but then to mark that they competed their review, they have to come out of the proof and click "review complete" on a separate page. This is way too hard for those whose only work in WF is reviewing proofs.

    @ljorr16 you should be able to access the "Complete my review" button in the proof viewer. That was a recent release - will you give it a shot and let me know your thoughts?

        @jbarron If I'm understanding this correctly, we have to wait until 2026 to be able to see a report of reviewers on proofs? There is no report for the current proofing system to see which reviewers are on current proofs?

        Is there a way to have some users added to the trial?
