Proof Approvals
You can record approval or rejection of every proof that you create. For
example, if you print a content proof for a customer, you can indicate
its approval before doing a contract proof. To use this approval
method, you must first create a proof.
Proof approvals are for internal information only. They are not visible to
customers using Prepress Portal, and have no effect on what you can
do in Prinergy.
After you set the approval status, an approved icon or a rejected icon
appears in the column for the proof process, if you are in list view.

Changing the approval status of proofs

process was successful.

Approve
.
