You can see a list of jobs and folders after logon. The eProof navigation system is very intuitive. Folders contain jobs consisting of one or more proof files. Folders may also contain subfolders that, in their turn, contain jobs and/or more subfolders.
To see jobs located in a folder, click on the folder icon.
Click on the job icon to enter the job and receive an overview of proof files (pages) of this job. If there is only one page in a job, this page will be displayed.
If you choose "requests" below each page icon, an overview of all correction requests created for this page opens up in the right-hand pane. Such an overview includes the request number, creation date, status and type, as well as the correction comments and text changes.

On this page (Request Details), you may choose to modify or comment on the request, or view the history of changes to this correction.
3. Creating Correction Requests to Proof File
To view a proof file, click on the proof file icon. Now you may review and modify existing correction requests, if any, and create new ones.
An object to which a correction request is attached is marked by a color frame and/or an annotation icon - anchor.
Correction requests may apply to individual page elements (text blocks, images and tables) and to any custom area on the proof, as well as to the proof page as a whole.
To
create a text correction request, click with the arrow tool 
on
the desired text block (paragraph) on the document. The request pop-up dialog
containing the selected text block appears.
Change the text wording and/or modify its formatting in the Text field and enter your comment into the Comment field. Click OK when finished.
To view an existing text correction request, click on the highlighted area. The request pop-up dialog displays. To modify the request, click on the Edit button and change the Text and/or Comment field as described above.

User Interface / Functionality Details
Because you enter the system as a proofing user, you are shown only those features and tools which you actually need for your proofing activities. In this fashion, we achieve that the eProof interface is simple and intuitive since no unnecessary elements are shown.
At the same time, the eProof high-end and powerful functionality becomes available for those users who need it for their work with eProof. For example, designers are provided with the advanced features they use in their job development, file upload and request review activities. However, these features are invisible to proofing users. Likewise, the eProof various administering options are hidden from both proofreaders and designers while shown to administrators.
