You can approve creative content on your mobile device. Ziflow’s HTML5-based Proof Viewer works directly in your mobile browser with no app required.

Open proofs from any proof notification email on your device and complete reviews, including adding comments, markups, and decisions.

In the Ziflow Proof Viewer on mobile, you can:


Add comments, replies, and markup

Open comments

To open comments, tap the + located in the upper-right corner of the mobile screen. If there are existing comments, you can also tap Show at the bottom-right of your screen.

Add markup and comments

To add markup, select a markup tool from the menu below the comment box and tap or drag over the proof image.  Enter your comment or reply  in the text box and tap the blue arrow at the bottom-right to post. See Add comments and markup.

Display comments/replies with markups

If there are comments or replies with markups added to the proof, tap the markup or pin to jump to the comment or scroll through the comments.

Use the icons in each comment to like, apply labels, or resolve comments

Use the Options menu (three dots) to:

  • Copy comment text to your clipboard

Use checklists

Checklists allow you to review items consistently and track your progress.

Select the checklist icon to open your checklists in the Proof Viewer.

A progress bar at the top of the checklist shows the total number of items and how many have been reviewed (the color indicates passed, failed, and reviewed). Hover over the bar to see a breakdown. 

  • For Pass/Fail items, select the checkmark to pass or the X to fail.
  • For single checkbox items, select the checkmark to confirm you've reviewed it.

Your avatar will appear next to the item once selected.

Expand the checklist item to read the description for each. Select Expand all to expand all checklist item descriptions.
