Single file proofing to a single user can be easily done in two primary ways. Video’s below. 

• File action menu. 

Note… the “Send a Proof” dialog has been modified since this video was created. The function is still the same. 

• Quick Job dialog

Good things to know:

• Change to settings like “Allow file download” or “Show Job Specifications” ca n be changed even after a file has been sent. These settings (and others) are dynamic. 
• Locking a file after it is sent will allow the client to view the file but they can not review it or mark it up. They will get a message that the file is locked. 
• Client Uploads are only available if the file is in a folder within Good2Go.  Client uploading from the review screen is not available for loose files on the Good2Go desktop.

Maximum number of documents in a single folder review: 20

3. From the folder action menu, select “Send for Review”.
4. Enter the clients email.
5. Send the proof request. 

Multiple file proofing

Multiple document (folder) review. this video introduced our multiple document review feature. It shows the basics of how to send a folder of files in a single review request. Note, some dialogs have changed since this video was created, but the function remains the same. 

Good things to know:

• Locking a file that’s included in a multiple file review will allow the file to be viewed, but it can not be marked-up or approved. It is only for viewing. 

Proof reviews can be sent to up to 20 reviewers at one time.

The key to the Quick job interface is you can just drag and drop a file, enter an email and send. You still have access to change the message or deadline so you can customize the settings on a case-by-case basis.

The Quick Job interface is accessible from the Desktop in Good2Go.

Note that the Quick Job interface will upload files into the currently open folder on the Good2Go desktop. This provides control for you to define where jobs are stored.
