Review & Approval

In the original process flow, creative teams will go through content creation, review and approval process via creative tools itself. Since we have skipped the content creation section of the lab, we will be going through the review and approval process using the asset we downloaded from the project.

Requesting a review

Navigate to Tasks and click on the Creative Layout task.
Go into the Task Details and mark the status of the task to In Progress
Click on Documents from left side menu
Click on Add new and select Proof.
This will open up the New Proof upload page. Add the file we downloaded and renamed in the previews exercise by browsing to your local storage OR drag and drop the file.
Update your Proof role as an Read only. This will ensure the proof is approved once the reviewer approves it.
Leave all the other fields with default selections.
Click on Create Proof.
Once the proof is uploaded, click on the file to see the options and select Document details.
In the Document details, Click on Approvals from left menu
1. Click + Add approver
2. Request your colleague sitting next to you to review your asset. To do this, add your colleague by typing his user login ID after Labs eg. Labs 01. In case you are sittling alone, you can add yourself as an approver.
Once the colleague is added, it will look like below.

Review and approval

The Workfront Proof Review and Approval Process streamlines the way teams collaborate on and finalize assets. It allows stakeholders to review, comment, and approve creative work in a centralized platform, ensuring faster feedback loops and more efficient decision-making. By using Workfront Proof, teams can track changes, manage versions, and ensure that all feedback is addressed before final approval. This process helps maintain consistency, improve accuracy, and reduce time to market.

Click on Adobe Workfront logo to go to home dashboard.

From the document details, click on Open Proof to open the image in proofing view.
