Proof Activity and Messages Log

View a full-time-stamped summary of all activity on a proof, including comments, replies, reviewer access history, and more.

Updated over a week ago

Summary: As all industries move towards common compliance standards, retaining detailed activity on work becomes increasingly important for every business. Our customers often review content that is not yet public and need to show they've followed their policies during the review and approval process.

To this end, we've extended the proof activity section to capture all changes and actions on a proof. Now, you'll be able to see exactly who changed the proof and when.

Our Enterprise clients can also see a list of all the messages and notifications that were sent throughout the review and approval process. As a proof owner, manager, or Ziflow administrator, you can see the timeline and content of all the notifications sent to each reviewer.

This article outlines how described functionality appears and operates in the old layout. If you are using Dashboard 2.0, please refer to the corresponding article in the Help Center.

Available for: Administrators, managers, and users with access to the proof. This feature is available on all editions, however, the range of the activity log depends on the Ziflow edition.

Proof activity audit trail available for:

Edition

3 months

Standard

12 months

Pro

Enterprise

Where is the feature setup? Once you enter the proof details page, scroll down, and you will notice the activity log and messages at the bottom of the page.

The activity log will display the proof event history, and the Messages section will display all the emails sent during the work on a proof.
