Proofing

Proofing

Share the album for review before final export.

Proofing is where the album stops being an internal project and starts being a shared conversation.

It sits between internal preview and final export, and it exists so changes can be requested before the print-ready output is generated.

This is the live review link. It is where views, rounds, and comment traffic start to matter.

Older links do not disappear. They move into the inactive stack so the proofing history stays readable.

Love this one. Just brighten the right page a touch.

Activity snapshot

Views, rounds, comments, and replies belong together. Proofing is not just one link. It is the whole conversation around that link.

The live proofing page pulls together status, share links, comment summaries, and activity into one review surface.

What This Surface Holds

The proofing page is more than a link generator.

  • The header keeps the album and review context clear.
  • The status row tells you whether the round is alive, quiet, or settled.
  • The share-link manager handles active and inactive links.
  • The comments area keeps pending feedback visible without forcing you into the full client view.
  • The activity feed helps you understand what actually happened, not what you assume happened.

What Good Proofing Looks Like

Good proofing is not “send link and hope for the best.”

  • Run a proper preview pass first.
  • Create the right share link for the right client round.
  • Watch open comments instead of chasing feedback across email threads.
  • Go back to the editor when changes are real.
  • Export only after the round is settled.
