Document Updates

Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.

I think there needs to be a delineation between actual proofing comments vs selecting a document in the document folders and commenting on it / updates about it.

I also have mixed feelings on this. While it would be great for some projects, it could really clog up the Updates feed on others. We've had a couple nightmare inducing projects that have multiple rounds of proofs with 300+ comments per proof. I can't imagine all those comments in the Updates tab.

If there could be another tab or link to get all document comments in one feed, but still have the current comments on the main Updates tab, that would be a better option for those types of projects.

@Josh -- great to hear this.

@Josh, thank you for the update! This is great news :)

Good news, we are currently investigating this item. I see a lot of great feedback here in regards to showing or not showing Workfront Proof comments.

I have created a survey to capture your thoughts about Proof comments on the updates feed. Please take a couple of minutes to fill out this survey:

I may reach out to some of you to be in a test group on the Preview environment as we move forward.

Agree!

Totally agree. For document/proof comments rolled into project updates, we'd definitely need the task name, document name and version # to be attached to the updates breadcrumb area. Having the most recent update reply within a thread at the top would be beneficial as well.

Totally agree with this comment

One problem that we have also noticed is that when you are Subscribed to a project and upload a document, there is no notification that a document has been uploaded. I would think that this would work the same way as getting notified when new comments are made on the project / task / issue that you are subscribed to.
