Approvals and Revisions
Most author approvals happen in Phase 4: Proofing & Approval inside your project's workflow tasks.
When a proof is ready
- You may receive an email notification with a link to your portal.
- Open Projects → View Details on the title and go to Phase 4 or the eProof Review task.
- Download and review the PDF carefully (printing or using comment tools is recommended).
Approve or request changes
On the task detail panel you'll see:
- Approve — Mark the proof accepted and move production forward when everything looks correct.
- Request Changes / Disapprove — Submit specific revision notes in the task notes field. Upload marked-up files if helpful.
Cover and interior tasks in earlier phases work the same way — use Approve or Request Changes on each workflow task.
Revision rounds
The number of included proof rounds depends on your package. Your team will send a revised proof after changes are made (typically within a few business days). Message your editor in the project Messages & Team Inbox if you need clarification.
Important: Title metadata remains editable in the portal until Phase 5 lock. After that, changes require a formal request through Messages. See Project Stages Explained for the full phase timeline.
