Adobe Creative Cloud integration

Seamlessly connect GoProof with Adobe (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere) so you can:

  • Launch proofs directly from your Adobe apps via a two-way extension panel
  • View and markup high-resolution proofs
  • Log time against tasks and jobs from the extension
  • Reject change requests (with reasoning)
  • Attach source files (like .indd) or alternate versions to a job. The extension itself sends page images for review
  • Work with multiple artboards, rename pages, zoom into markups in context

This tight Adobe Creative Cloud integration allows designers and creatives to review and approve content without ever having to hop between multiple platforms.

Unlimited GoProof collaborators

No extra licensing for reviewers or guests.
Key capabilities:

  • Unlimited reviewers & guests (no Adobe license needed)
  • Role types like Observer, Reviewer, Gatekeeper, Administrator
  • Ability to convert collaborators to members
  • Custom avatars, dashboard themes (dark/light), and role switching
  • Saved groups for frequent reviewer sets

You keep control over who sees what and who can comment or approve.

A wealth of proofing & mark-up tools

Your proofing toolkit includes:

  • Drawing tools: ruler, freehand draw, arrows, boxes, cross, highlight
  • Text editing, strike-through, push pins/thumbtacks, check marks, question icons, voice notes
  • Drag-to-relocate comment markers, custom colors
  • Side-by-side comparisons, version overlays and a visual difference view
  • Comment threads, @mentions, reply chains
  • Activity timeline of all proof events

These features make it easy for collaborators to give actionable feedback directly on assets. Video proofs have time-coded comments and a frame-preview scrubber, audio proofs show a waveform, and print files get colour separations, ink coverage, measure and grid tools and a QR and barcode scanner.

Website proofing

With GoProof’s website proofing tools, you can:

  • Proof live websites or URL snapshots
  • Annotate directly on web pages (text, images, layout)
  • Comment in line with site content
  • Compare before/after changes side by side
  • Track version history and changes in page context

This feature is perfect for reviewing website updates, ad landing pages, or digital campaigns, ensuring accurate comparisons and consistent performance across versions.

Automated proofing

Streamline approval cycles and reduce manual oversight:

  • Set deadlines and reminders on proofs and workflow stages
  • Choose what happens at the deadline, such as sending the proof back or signing it off
  • Notify the next reviewers when their stage starts
  • Auto-route proofs based on roles or project stage
  • Overdue notices and nudges for slow reviewers

Workflows and reminders keep reviews moving, so nobody has to chase. Each reviewer is told when it is their turn.

Manager workflow

Specialized workflow roles for managers and clients:

  • Assign “Managers” to projects to control rounds
  • Separate review groups (e.g. internal vs external)
  • Route proofs in staged phases
  • Project-level chat, job-level chat
  • Nudge collaborators to action

This gives you structure and accountability in your approval process.

Copy editor

When proofing text content:

  • Inline text editing right on the proof
  • Maintain version track of text changes
  • Authors can accept or reject text changes
  • Change tracking for copy edits

This removes friction of switching between proof tools and text editors.

Insights & Reporting

Robust analytics and reporting dashboards let you:

  • Track turnaround times per reviewer, project or team
  • View comment volume, response rates, collaborator engagement
  • Understand which projects stall or require rework
  • Download Insights tables as CSV for stakeholders

You’ll transform qualitative feedback into clear, actionable metrics, enabling your team to make data-driven decisions and improve processes effectively.

Always know who approved which version

One of the most common pain points for creative teams is losing track of approval status across multiple versions of the same file. GoProof solves this with a clear, automatic audit trail built into every proof.

Timestamped approval records. Every decision, whether a reviewer marks a proof as finished or a gatekeeper approves or requests changes, is logged with a timestamp and attributed to the specific person who made it. There is no ambiguity about who said what, or when.

Version-by-version history. GoProof tracks every version of a proof in sequence. Teams and managers can see exactly which version each reviewer commented on and whether it was approved, rejected, or still awaiting a decision.

Real-time activity tracking. The project dashboard shows at a glance whether each collaborator has viewed, commented on, finished reviewing, or approved a proof. Stage markers for Seen, Commented, Finished, and Decision mean a project manager can check the status of every stakeholder in seconds, without sending a single chaser email.

Gatekeeper controls. Gatekeepers can collate all reviewer feedback before making the final call on a proof, ensuring no approval is given until the right people have had their say.
