[Workfront AMA] Ask Me ANYTHING about Workfront Proof

I would like to know when we will be able to upload to the proofing tool: HTML and Sharepoint live links (without the integration - this is forbidden by our IT team).

Can we combine multiple proofs into one and keep all the comments?

Is it possible to build out different custom messages per stage. If I am correct, if you have multiple stages that activated at different times, the custom message created while creating the proof will be the same message that everyone gets. I wish we could do custom messaging for each stage so we can make these messages more specific to the parties in each stage.

I would like to get some recommendations on how other users are using Proof for external contacts. We do not use workflows internally because we need our review process to remain flexible (one user may need to see 1, 2 or 3 rounds and another user on the same rounds may approve first round and this is unpredictable at the start of the round). 

Currently, we are just sending clients a link to view the proof as "reviewer" only. But some clients have been experiencing more and more issues getting into proof with Adobe Admin console (ie being asked for a password to an account they don't have). It's difficult to troubleshoot a third party for these instances. 

What process do others use for reviews outside of an organization (with no WF license)?

We would like to use "Require Electronic Signature" but it asks for a login and password and our SSO doesn't seem to work.  I've seen conflicting information on Experience League. Do I need to configure SSO in ProofHQ, or... Is this an Admin Console issue or...

This one may be a challenge, so here goes.

The scenario: We have 3 stages on a proof. For the first stage, when the deadline passes, we have that stage lock and reviewers cannot go back in to add comments or make a decision. The reviewers are set to Reviewer & Approver role.

The problem: Using the My Approvals home widget, when a reviewer on stage 1 does not make a decision and the proof is locked, the proof will hang out until they do, but they can't make a decision when it is locked. The issue is our users widget is filling up with proofs that they cannot action and is causing major confusion on what they actually need to review and clutter since we can't filter these out on the widget. Currently, I am spending a lot of time in the back end of proof locking proofs and archiving them in real time once we release assets to clean up their home page.

I have worked with support and they have confirmed the following: 

If a proof has multiple stages and the reviewer in Stage 1 has not made a decision, the proof will continue to appear in the Home page widget, even if Stage 1 is currently locked. This behavior ensures that all pending approval actions are visible until they are resolved or the proof is otherwise cleared through one of the standard conditions (decision made, proof archived, or project marked as completed).

Does anyone have a recommendation on how I can help my users? Is there something I can do with Fusion to reduce the noise on the home page prior to a project being completed and avoid the manual work I am doing currently?

I have explored reports in the past but could not output the report I needed to be effective.

We create a lot of emails and need reviews of website with company reviewers. It seems like the only options to do this review in Workfront is to upload the URL, which just creates a PDF and doesn't allow the user to click around on the page or email OR download a desktop or chrome extension which isn't reasonable for us to ask business owners to do. is there another way to review interactive emails or websites and have users leave comments and feedback without any downloads needed or converting to a PDF?

Some of our users are not being pushed back to the project when they click on a proof link from an email. When they close the proof it pushes them to the general document page and not the document area of that project. Is anyone else having this experience? I know you can click on the project name to get back to the project. It seems like this is the new intended experience.

Is there a way for the proof approval process to update a tasks status? We'd like to have the task status change back to in progress (or whatever) if a proof is not approved.
