Proof owners and reviewers with the Manage role can lock or unlock proof versions.

The proof version is the specific version of a proof. The proof is the entire proof including all versions.

Available on: Free Standard Pro Enterprise

Locking a proof version stops all review activity for that version. Reviewers will not be able to:

• Add comments or replies
• Edit, upload, or amend existing comments
• Restore deleted comments or replies
• Submit, change, or revoke decisions

Review owners have full permissions by default.

Proof owners can assign the Manage role to licensed reviewers in their account.
