Currently proofing requests are only distributed via an automated email from Hive which can often get lost in the inboxes of clients who may not be familiar with Hive. We would much prefer to be able to generate a proofing link that we can share directly with our clients via our own email as opposed to a the auto generated email that hive sends. A good example of this functionality is the way frame.io handles it - you can choose to send emails, or simply copy and paste the link for manual distribution.
