Learn how to review assets in Ziflow using any mobile device.

Updated over a week ago

If you and your team need to approve your creative content on the go, we've added support for review on mobile devices.

Team members can access proofs via proof notification emails on their devices.

Comments and decisions can be quickly made via your device's native browser, another huge benefit of Ziflow's HTML5-based Proof Viewer. No special app is required!


Reviewing proofs

Once a reviewer clicks on the proof link sent via email, they will be redirected to Proof Viewer. Reviewers may perform a variety of actions inside the Proof Viewer:


Add comments/replies.

Click on the green + button located in the upper right corner of the mobile browser window.

Once you click that button, a small comment box will appear. After you've typed in your comment, click the green arrow button to add the comment/reply.

Add markups

If you want to add a comment linked with a markup, enter the comment edit mode the same way as it was explained above and draw a markup by tapping and dragging over the proof image. You can choose a variety of markup tools from the menu below the comment box. Once you draw a markup and enter a comment, you may save it by clicking on a green arrow button.

Display comments/replies with markups

If there are any comments or replies with markups added to the proof, you will see them at the bottom of the Ziflow Viewer. Switching between the comments can be done by clicking on the up & down arrows above the comment.

Ziflow Viewer mobile settings

Once you enter a Ziflow Viewer settings menu, you will be presented with four types of settings:


  1. Show comments as - select how you would like to display comments by default:

    Pins - displays just markup pins over the proof image.

    Markups - with this setting enabled, reviewers have the option to see every markup and comment that has been made on a proof all at once.
    None - hides all markups from a proof. To view a markup, you'll need to open a comment connected to it.

  2. Show avatars - select if you want to see reviewer avatars near added comments.

  3. Language - allows you to select your default language for the Ziflow Viewer.
