This article refers to functionality in the standalone product Workfront Proof. For information on proofing inside Adobe Workfront, see Proofing.

Users who have edit rights on a proof can delete it.

For more information on edit rights, see Proof Permissions Profiles in Workfront Proof and Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof

When you delete a proof (or any other item, such as a file or folder) in your account, Workfront Proof moves it to the Trash. Items in the Trash can be restored easily.

For information about the Trash, see Restore and Empty the Trash in Workfront Proof.

NOTE
Items stored in the Trash count towards your storage limit. To free up storage space, please empty the Trash.
