Lock a proof
You can manually lock a proof to prevent or allow commenting by reviewers. This is different from locking a proof stage.
To lock a proof:
-
Go to the document list that contains the proof you want to open.
-
Hover over the document, then click the Open proof link that appears.
Or
If you want to open a proof for an earlier version of the document, click the More icon
For information about the Summary, see Summary for documents overview.
-
In the In the left panel, click the Lock icon
Unlock a proof
Unlocking a proof is useful when you need reviewers to add comments to a previous version of a proof. (A previous version is always locked until the proof owner manually unlocks it.) When the reviewers have finished adding comments to the previous version, you can lock it again. For information about viewing a previous version of a proof, see View previous proof versions in the Web Proofing Viewer.
To unlock a proof:
-
Hover over the document, then click the Open proof link that appears.
Or
If you want to open a proof for an earlier version of the document, click the More icon
