Question

What happens when I approve a proof? Can I make changes after approval?

Answer

Approving a proof is your final sign-off. Once you approve, you are confirming the artwork is finished and ready to print exactly as shown.

  • Approval means the file is locked and moves toward production.
  • Missed details, typos, and last-minute changes discovered after approval are your responsibility.
  • Changes after approval may not be possible once the job is in the print queue.
  • The safest step is a slow, careful review of every line before you click approve.

Check spelling, colors, sizing, and placement thoroughly, because approval closes the window for edits.
