Configure default proofing roles
-
Click the Main Menu icon
-
Click Review and Approval near the bottom of the list that appears on the left.
-
In the Roles for designated recipients of a document proof section, select the default role for users and guest users who are added to a proof’s workflow.
See Rights associated with proofing roles below for a list of each proofing role and the rights associated with it.
note note NOTE - This setting applies only to users who are created in the Workfront system after the role is set; not to existing users.
- The person adding users to the proof can adjust this role, as described in Add users to a proof in Share a proof within Adobe Workfront.
-
In the Roles for non-recipients that open a document proof section, select the default role for users and guest users who can access a proof, but are not added to the proof’s workflow.
This situation occurs when users and guests have access to a document for which a proof has been created: even if they have not been added to the proof’s workflow, they can open the proof.
Examples: Here are examples of how you could use this setting:
- You select Read only to limit all proof activity such as adding comments and making decisions to those who have been asked to do it.
- You select Reviewer because you want any member of the team to be able to add markups and comments on a proof.
-
Click Save.
