Dashboard v1 and Proof Viewer v1 retire on September 30, 2026. Move to Dashboard v2 and Proof Viewer v2 before then.
If you're used to the Legacy Proof Viewer, Proof Viewer v2 can feel unfamiliar at first, but everything you relied on is still there. Use this table to find it.

New in Proof Viewer v2
Some of what you'll see isn't a renamed version of anything from Legacy Proof Viewer — it's new. These don't have a v1 equivalent to map from, so they're not in the table above:
- Color separations
- Font inspector (Enterprise)
- Barcode inspector (Enterprise)
- Change background color
- Use checklists
- Use comment assistance
- Live comments (Private Preview)
- Electronic Signatures
- Next proof to review
- ReviewAI (paid add-on)
