@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.
