Summary: As all industries move towards common compliance standards, retaining detailed activity on work becomes increasingly essential for every business. Our customers often proof content that is not yet public and need to show they've followed their policies during the review and approval process.

  • To this end, we've extended the proof activity section to capture all changes and actions. Now you'll see exactly who changed the review and when.

    Our Enterprise clients can also see a list of all the messages and notifications sent throughout the review and approval process. As a proofowner, manager, or Ziflow administrator, you can see the timeline and content of all the notifications sent to each reviewer.

    Available for: Administrators, managers, and users with access to the proof. This feature is available on all editions. However, the range of the activity log depends on the Ziflow edition.

    Proof activity audit trail available for:

    Edition

    3 months

    Standard

    12 months

    Pro

    Enterprise

    Where is the feature setup? Once you enter the proof details page, scroll down, and you will notice the activity log and messages at the bottom of the page.

    In the Activity section, you can view the history of proof events. Additionally, the Emails section shows all the emails sent while working on a proof.
