Compare proofs in the proofing viewer

IMPORTANT
This article refers to functionality in the standalone product Workfront Proof. For information on proofing inside ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Workfront, see Proofing.

You can view side-by-side comparisons of two proofs. These can be two versions of the same proof, or two completely separate proofs.

Compare proof versions compare-proof-versions

  1. Open the proof that has multiple versions you want to compare.

  2. In the upper-left corner of the proofing viewer that displays, click the name of the proof. Then, in the list of versions that appears, click the Compare icon next to the version you want to open and compare.

    Compare proofs choose version

    The proofs display side by side, with the newer version on the left side.

  3. Continue with Use the compare tools.

Compare separate proofs compare-separate-proofs

You can compare two separate proofs.

NOTE
The proofs you compare must be located in the same folder and at the same level of hierarchy within the folder structure. For more information about using folders to group proofs you want to compare, see Work with multiple proofs in the proofing viewer
  1. Open one of the proofs you want to compare in the proofing viewer.

  2. Click the Compare Mode icon.
