What's new in GoProof

Proofing

Reviewing and marking up proofs

A run of changes that make a review quicker, from comment filters to voice notes.

Comments and markup

• Comment filters have been rebuilt, so it's clearer what you're looking at.
• The markup tool stays selected after you save a comment, so you can keep going.
• Record a voice note on a comment or a reply. A visualiser shows the recording as you speak.
• Type a custom zoom level instead of stepping through presets.
• Hover over the video scrubber to see a preview frame.
• Closing a proof can offer Approve with changes.
• Previous versions of a proof are view-only for comment actions.
• A ban cursor shows where a pin can't go, and the message for someone with no access to a proof is clearer.
• Checklists appear in the mobile editor, and an unfinished checklist warns you before you leave. Proof AI checklists now run as steps, so the next action is obvious.

Large files, colour and file types

• Large PDFs download in chunks, so the first page appears sooner.
• Open a lower-quality version of a proof while page images are still being extracted.
• Delete an optimised version when you no longer need it. Text selection works on the optimised PDF.
• Uploads over 100 MB can keep a smaller proofing PDF.
• Colour preview can open as soon as a proof loads, with colour output checking switched on.
• Adobe file types get proper icons. If a type can't be previewed, you see a clear message and can download the file.
• Document names can now be up to 1024 characters long.

Dashboards you design, and a digest email

Decide which numbers matter to you, lay them out your way and keep them to hand.

Custom dashboards

• Start from a preset, build from scratch, or clear a dashboard back to a blank canvas.
• Add metric, KPI and graph widgets. Some widgets show several dashboards in one view.
• Hover over a gap to add a widget. Filters now sit in their own menu.
• Your layout is remembered. Save a dashboard for yourself, or share it.

Insights

• Richer, adjustable queries, with a drill-down on each stat.
• An AI chat on the Insights page lets you ask questions of your data.
• Leaving Insights with changed filters no longer raises a warning.

Digest email

• A digest email mirrors a slice of your dashboard stats. It goes out daily by default.
• Use Send now when you don't want to wait. Send times are set in UTC.

GoProof on a phone, and on the home screen

You can now install GoProof as an app from your browser, and the mobile layouts have had a thorough pass.

Add to home screen

• GoProof can be added to your home screen. Caching, upload progress and the footer toolbar have been tuned for it, and the web app shows a reload dialog when it needs one.

The mobile proof editor

• Filter and sort comments, with a create-comment sheet that fits its actions.
• Simple proofing mode is honoured on mobile.
• Fit to Review works on mobile, including when you close the proof.
• Copy-edit controls appear on the mobile publish dialog.
• Project search sits in the mobile side navigation, and video stays above the transport controls.

Around the app

• Proofs, assets and deliverables share a views menu.
• Share links for deliverables work on mobile, including sharing with GoProof users outside your account.
• Proofing layouts, workflow proofs, logged time, get-started, share-link and confirmation dialogs were reworked for small screens.
• Signup, sign-in across several companies and the welcome card were refitted for small screens.

Teams and accounts

Teams, licenses and who owns the work

Clearer ownership, a proper teams area and a friendlier first-run experience.

• Administrators can change a job's owner. Members can't.
• A team or client has an owner, shown on its own page, and the owner can be changed.
• A teams page and side navigation entry manage your teams, and a team menu manages that team's projects. Clients can be marked active or inactive.
• Free and trial accounts enforce user and member license limits. The user-license table now filters and sorts on the server.
• The get-started flow has been redesigned. It can bring members across from the last project in the same client, and it only creates the client and project when you choose Let's go, so you can go back and correct details first.
• Guests who aren't project members see a narrower project view, and observers can't manage proof attachments.

And more

Adobe plugin, signing in and smaller fixes

The rest of the list. Each of these is small, but someone asked for most of them.

Adobe plugin

• Signing in from the plugin respects role restrictions and expired link tickets.
• Creating a project from the plugin can optionally subscribe you to it.
• Photoshop sync has been updated.
• Add-on sign-in is gated by platform and client version.

Signing in and staying signed in

• Passkeys work in production.
• Sign-in tokens are tighter. They carry an issuer and audience, refresh tokens expire as they should, and refresh tokens are stored hashed.
• SAML users who follow a proof link while email login is disabled are returned to that proof after signing in.
• Password reset no longer trips over a long request, and the signup page and signup button are fixed.

Also fixed

• Likes on job comments work the first time.
• Pasted text in a new comment shows in the edit box, with the cursor in the field.
• Clicking blank space no longer brings back a previous text selection.
• Text-change tooltips in the text editor are readable.
• The Attach button shows for comments and adornments.
• Creating a project no longer crashes when kanban is on.
• The Monday integration works again, and ClickUp spaces load again.
• User groups no longer scroll sideways.
• Files combined into one proof sort naturally, and previews are generated in upload order.
• Global search runs its queries in parallel and keeps a search field in the header when there is room.
• Company menu options no longer overflow, and the Integrations buttons link to the right place.
