Workfront Proof mobile app
Download the Workfront Proof app from the Apple App Store or Google Store to be productive wherever you are. The Workfront Proof app has the following features on the iPhone and iPod Touch:
- View, review, and approve both static and audio-visual proofs
- View, add, and reply to comments
- Manage your proofs via your dashboard and views
You do not need to be a user of Workfront Proof (i.e., have your own login credentials) to review and approve a proof via the iOS app. As long as you download the app to your iOS device and access your personal URL via your iOS email app, then you can review and approve on the go.
