When a proof owner assigns the to-do list on a proof to somebody else to action, this role is called an editor. It is a temporary role for that proof version that starts when a proof owner assigns the to-do list, and ends when the editor has actioned the to-dos and uploaded a new version.
The proof owner can assign multiple editors on a proof.
The editor can do things like:
Can mark each actioned comment as done. This changes the pin color to green on the proof.
Tip: You can filter the list of comments on the proof to only show comments marked as to-do by clicking the red to-do icon at the top of the comment pane.Can upload a new version of the proof. This new version can be sent out to the same workflow, a different workflow, or back to the owner only. This article explains how to upload new versions.
Best practices:
Mark each comment that has been actioned as done.
Each to-do requested may have an attachment. For ease, you can download all attachments at once by clicking the download icon on the proofing screen.
If you’re unsure to whom the new version should go to, send the proof to an owner who can assign the workflow. Here’s how.
If you are making changes to your work using Adobe Creative Cloud, the PageProof plugin will display the comments layered over your artwork file and you can easily action the to-dos directly inside of your Adobe app. Download the PageProof plugin for Adobe.
