You can compare proofs in different ways, the choice is yours:
Compare the same proof – perfect for ensuring consistency within a document, for example checking that a table of contents matches its listed pages.
Proofs can be compared side-by-side, or if the dimensions of the proofs match, smart compare will be available. In smart compare mode, a useful slider and ‘quick flick’ tool are available too. Smart check will also be seen in this mode which will show changes in the file meta data such as dimensions, fonts, colors etc.
In this article we will show you:
How to compare two different proofs
There are 2 ways you can compare two different proofs.
From the side-by-side compare screen
Step 1
In the side-by-side compare screen, select the version drop down and select compare different proof.
Step 2
Using the global search, find and select the proof.
From the dashboard
Step 1
On your dashboard, click the cog icon and select compare.
Step 2
Select two proofs to compare, then click compare.
Note: If the dimensions of the 2 proofs are exactly the same, then smart compare will be available.
When you are viewing proofs in compare mode, you can also add comments if the proof is in a state that allows this. Read this article to learn how to add comments in compare mode.
