Stemming from the need for: (1) The ability to hide certain versions of a proof from "External approvers" (2) The ability to hide annotations from "External approvers" It's very common to have multiple internal revisions before sending work for a client or external approver to review. While internal revisions happen often at the start of work on a job, they can happen at any point even after a client's initial review. These internal versions often include changes, work-in-progress, annotations, and context that is undesirable for an external approver to see.

The Approval App only shows approvals by project. It would be great if there was a dashboard that shows all proofs awaiting approvals as we tend to have multiple proofs within a project so would be good to track the status of all of them.

I wanted to suggest a little light or icon indicator to display in the listed action for proofing. When working with multiple creators and many actions in the list, we have to open each one to ensure a proof has or has not already been sent. With an icon/indicator, we can see that a proof has been sent and the status of the proof itself. Green for approved, red for changes, yellow for still waiting for approval. It just improves workflow without opening each action in the list.

We currently find the 'approve with changes' option within Proofing and Approvals to be problematic when it comes to getting a definite approval on some documents. To avoid the uncertainty and cut out human error, it would be great if the different approval options could be editable, or at the very least able to toggle them on and off.

After a quick preview of the annotation, users can decide if they need to open the proof and spend time loading or have the information they need from the notification.

Edits are being incorrectly implemented because replies to a comment aren't readily visible.

When using the Proofing and Approvals application, external users are not sure if the feedback was submitted successfully. I think a message to the external users will help them know that the feedback was submitted.

Some users are part of multiple workspaces so it would be beneficial for users to customize the formatting on the emails being sent out. Such as: "[Person] has asked for approval on [Job] ([Comment]) in [Workspace]"

When I send an external approval request to a client, I would love to be able to edit the email they receive with any specific instructions I may have for that client. Most of the clients we send external approval requests to are not familiar with Hive at all, so we typically will send a follow up email with our own instructions on how to approve the request.

It would be much more useful if there was a way to lock and unlock the 2 proofs that allowed one to reposition each proof and then scroll in tandem after locking (an example would be if a page was deleted, so you need to compare page 7 to page 6). Currently when you switch on “sync scroll”, the proofs automatically align generically. Also you cannot have one zoomed in (sometimes the size/format changes from the back up)…
