  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.

  

  Lock a proof version from the Proof Details page

  Select the proof to open the Proof Details page, select the options menu (three dots) and choose Lock Version.

  

  Lock a proof version from the Dashboard

  To lock a single proof version, right-click a proof and select Lock proof.

  

  To lock several proofs at once, Ctrl-select multiple proofs and select the lock icon in the task bar. You can choose to lock just the current version or all versions of the proof.

  

  Lock a proof version from the Proof viewer

  Open the main menu in the Proof Viewer (three bars) and choose Lock.
