Summary: Ziflow allows you to upload & review Rich Media assets (HTML5).
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.
Where is the feature applied? While creating a new proof, simply select a ZIP file containing a Rich Media asset. Read more about how ZIP should be structured to be supported by Ziflow.
You can also combine multiple Rich Media assets into a single proof using a combined setting while creating a new proof.
Reviewing a Rich Media proof
Rich Media & Live website Proofing
Please install our browser extension for the best experience when reviewing Rich Media and Live Website proofs.
Please note that Safari does not support browser extensions that are required to take screenshots when making comments on Rich Media and viewing Live Website proofs.
Once a Rich Media proof has been created, you can enter the Ziflow Viewer to begin the review and approval process. You'll notice a small bar at the top of the Ziflow Viewer where you can find some useful tools that help review uploaded assets.
Asset resolution - this option allows you to display the proof in other screen resolutions to see how the asset looks on other devices. There are over a dozen different options to choose from.
Change orientation - rotates asset orientation according to the selected resolution. This feature works only if you switch resolution from your default browser resolution to some custom value selected from the asset resolution picker.
Interactive/panning mode - allows you to switch between interactive and panning modes. When the arrow button is blue, then the interactive mode is on. It means that you can browse the proof as a normal website (play videos, interact with all the content). If you draw a markup or use any other proofing tool, the proof will remain in the panning mode, and browsing won’t be possible (the interactive mode button will be greyed out). You can start browsing the proof once the interactive mode is switched back on.
Refresh - reloads the whole proof to the initial HTTPS address.
Assets metadata while reviewing merged Rich Media assets
When checking proofs that contain several Rich Media assets, you can observe that we keep records of the file names and their resolution in the posted comments section.
Providing extra information offers reviewers a more comprehensive understanding of the files, facilitating quicker detection of any potential issues.
Beneath every Rich Media asset, you will discover identical information regarding the file name and asset dimension.
