Share proof links in Workfront Proof
You can email the Proof URL and the Download URL for a proof to anyone, whether or not they have a Workfront Proof account. For information about the Proof URL and the Download URL, see Share the Public URL in Workfront Proof and Download Files Stored in Workfront Proof.
People who have not been added to the proof and view it using the Proof URL won’t be added to the workflow on the proof and will have Read Only access to the proof. For information about read-only access, see Manage Proof Roles in Workfront Proof.
However, the option to sign in will be available. So, if a recipient has already been added to the proof, they can simply enter their details and then they will be able to make comments/decisions (depending on their existing role).
If the Subscription setting is enabled on the proof, any recipient who has not been added to it can subscribe (add) to the proof. See Subscribe to a Proof in Workfront Proof for more information.
- If Download of the original file is disabled on the proof, only the Proof URL is shared. If Public sharing is disabled but the Download the original file is enabled, reviewers will receive only the download link in the email. For more information, see Download Files Stored in Workfront Proof.
- People you share the proof link with do not appear in the Workflow section of the Proof details page. For more information, see Manage Proof Details in Workfront Proof.
- If Subscriptions have not been enabled on the proof and the person has not already been added to the proof, they will only be able to view the proof in read-only mode.
