Web captures
You can create static web page proofs. For more information, see Create a static proof for a website or other web content and Create a Static Website Proof using Workfront Proof.
Zip files
We do not support or extract files from ZIP files for security reasons. Unzip the files before uploading them. If you do not do this, the upload will not be unsuccessful.
You can submit zip files only if they contain a complete interactive project and your account has interactive features enabled (Premium plans).
For more information, see Interactive content proofs overview.
InDesign and Quark files
We do not support InDesign and Quark Files because they are not self-contained file types and they reference numerous other files such as images and fonts. Output from these file types varies depending on the output settings. We recommend that customers save InDesign and Quark files as a PDF and upload the PDF.
