Live websites: Force proxy for all websites (all Ziflow editions) - HTTP (non-secure) sites will always be loaded in the viewer using our proxy servers and ignore this setting. For HTTPS (secure) sites that require authorization, you should disable this setting and ensure your site allows it to be embedded.

The result is a much-improved level of quality when reviewing proofs, no matter the zoom level. Please note that with this setting enabled, some types of content, for example, static websites, may not be displayed correctly within the Proof Viewer. If your website proof doesn't look right, please try temporarily disabling the setting and try proofing your website again.

Read more about color separations in the following article.
