Ziflow lets you combine multiple assets into a single batch proof.

Available on:Standard Pro Enterprise

• When creating a new proof, you can include:

  • Multiple assets of the same type (for example, two videos), or
  • Ent A mix of supported asset types, such as videos, images, PDFs, audio files, websites, and other rich media

  Uploading files works the same way as with any proof:

  • Drag and drop files into Ziflow
  • Select files using your system file picker

  

  After uploading your assets, choose Combined proof. This merges all selected files into a single review.

  

  Standard Pro Combined and merged creates one proof with assets appearing one after the other.

  Enterprise You can choose Combined and merged or Combined and not merged  (the assets appear on consecutive pages).

  Once the combined proof option is selected, you can proceed with the rest of the review setup as usual. For full details on proof creation, see Create a proof review.

  Best practice: rename proof and assets in combined proofs

  Choose clear names for reviewers so they understand what they’re looking at and how each asset relates to the project. You can also reorder the assets to make reviews easier.

  Proof name

  By default, Ziflow uses the name of the first uploaded file as the proof name. To change this:

  1. Select the proof name.
  2. Enter a more descriptive name that reflects the overall review.

  This is especially useful when the proof represents a campaign or feature rather than a single file.

  Asset names and order (during upload)

  While creating a combined proof, you can:

  • Rename individual assets
  • Reorder assets before finalizing the proof

  

  Update asset names after creation

  If the proof has already been created, you can still update asset names:

  1. Open the Proof details page.
  2. Go to the Assets section.
  3. Edit asset names as needed.

  

  These changes are reflected immediately in the Proof Viewer.

  Configure name for new proof versions

  Instead of automatically naming new versions of your combined proofs after the previous one, your Ziflow administrator can choose whether a new version uses the previous version’s name or the name of the first file uploaded. See Configure default proof settings - On new version set the proof name to the first file's name.

  Asset-specific comments

  In combined proofs, every comment is tied to a specific asset. This keeps feedback anchored to the correct file and avoids ambiguity when multiple formats are involved.

  Review combined proofs

  Combined and merged: In the Proof Viewer, you can scroll to see the assets one after the other.

  Combined and not merged Enterprise: In the Proof Viewer, reviewers use the asset selector to switch between assets included in the proof. Each asset opens in the appropriate viewer (video player, document viewer, web view, and so on), and comments remain associated with the asset they were made on.

  

  Aside from asset switching, all standard review actions, commenting, replying, marking decisions, work the same way as they do in single-asset proofs.

  1. Creating proofs with different asset types

  2. Batch review assets using our asset navigator

   

  Creating proofs with different asset types

   

  When creating a new proof, you may merge different file types into one proof (you can also upload multiple files of the same kind, e.g., two videos or websites). The process of uploading files works the same as it used to - you can drag & drop project files to Ziflow or select them from your system file selector.

  

  Once your files are uploaded into Ziflow, please do not forget to select the Combined proof setting - this way, you decide to merge files into a single asset. You can also leave the files as separate assets (this option will create a proof from each file separately).

  

  This concludes the proof creation part. If you want to know more about proof creation, please read a detailed guide on creating a new proof.

   

  Batch Review Asset Navigator

   

  Once you successfully create a proof and reviewers receive their proof invitation, the review process in the Ziflow Viewer will begin. The whole experience around proofreading such a combined file generally doesn't change much compared to a one-file proof.

  The only difference is that reviewers will need to switch between separate files using a widget (asset navigator) added for this purpose to the Ziflow Viewer:

  

  With our asset navigator, you can quickly navigate through assets uploaded inside the proof.
