Generate a live proof for a website

Prev Next

It is possible to perform live proof for website if URL was entered instead of uploading a file to original file holder enabled for proofing. In a live website proof, reviewers can navigate and interact as they normally would with the website. 

An important note on generating live proof for a website

Websites need to be accessible to the people who are going to review it. Websites that are blocked from opening in an iframe through CORS blocking policies cannot be opened in proofing window and in some cases, adblockers can also prevent the preview from being displayed. 

To create an interactive proof for a website or other web content:

  1. Go to the Site Configuration tab > Go to Module settings > Open Proofing tab

    Important: Proofing needs to be enabled in order to make functionality works correctly

  4. Open search results of the module in the New UI

  5. Open any selected Item Info Sheet
