Making the Switch - Preparing for Your Move to Unified Review and Approvals
In Part 2 of this 3-Part Unified Review & Approvals series, Travis Jordan, Principal Product Manager, Content Supply Chain at Adobe, walks through 5 key shifts for moving from legacy Proof-based review:
-
New Workfront version Admins enable it in Setup after provisioning; a staged rollout (small group first) is recommended to test workflows before wider conversion, and existing projects stay on legacy storage unless actively migrated.
-
Adobe Cloud Storage replaces Workfront storage Becomes the default for new projects, pooled at 60 GB per licensed user across the org, with alerts at 75/90/100% usage; capacity issues are addressed at renewal, not mid-term purchases.
-
Frame.io replaces Workfront Proof Default review/approval surface for new projects, no separate license needed; external reviewers face monthly decision limits by package tier (3/5/7), and video approval requests are capped at 10% of licenses, annually, counted by approval flow.
- Those are approval requests not to be confused with approval decisions
- An account with Frame.io Enterprise attached to this new experience has the cap lifted automatically
- For example, if your company has 200 licenses, you would be capped annually on 20 video approval requests
-
Frame.io Enterprise for creative WIP Enables shared project collaboration, direct asset editing, internal commenting before external sharing, and watermarked vendor sharing, while Workfront retains orchestration and stays synced.
-
Enhanced documents experience Adds better versioning, integrations with Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator/Frame.io, multi-stage and bulk review workflows, and two-way linking with AEM assets; a custom document table view is planned for next year.
