Send work for review without leaving Adobe

ProofNow panels for Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects upload your file as a proof and bring every comment back into the app you design in.

Why a plugin

Stop exporting, attaching and copying comments by hand

Without ProofNow

  • Export a PDF or JPG for every round
  • Upload it somewhere and chase the link
  • Read feedback in email, then hunt for the right page
  • Lose track of which version was approved

With the ProofNow panel

  • One click exports and uploads the review file
  • New versions land on the same proof and monday.com item
  • Comments open the right page, artboard or frame
  • Every version and decision kept in the audit log

From artboard to approval in three steps

The same panel works in every supported Adobe app, so your whole creative team follows one review process.

  3. ProofNow panel listing reviewer comments with resolve actions
    03

    Work through the feedback

    Comments from every reviewer appear in the panel. Jump to the right page, artboard or timecode, then resolve each thread.

Adobe Photoshop

A circle in the browser becomes a circle on your canvas

Photoshop uploads your PSD or PSB with a flat image for reviewers. When a reviewer circles, arrows or highlights something, select their comment in the panel and ProofNow draws that markup over the reviewed image in Photoshop.

01The reviewer circles the headline in the browser, in ProofNow or monday.com.

02The designer selects the comment in Photoshop and the markup appears on the canvas.
  • Markup opens in a separate tab, so your layers, history and selection stay as they were
  • Or draw it on your open document in a single, removable annotations layer
  • Resolve threads and upload version 2 from the same panel

Adobe InDesign

Proof multi-page layouts, page by page

Send a brochure, catalogue or magazine spread for review without exporting and attaching PDFs by hand. ProofNow keeps the INDD and a PDF of every page, so reviewers comment on the exact layout you built.

  • Creates a PDF of every page with the PDF settings you choose
  • Selecting a comment opens its page in InDesign
  • Your document and settings stay exactly as they were

Adobe Illustrator

Every artboard, reviewed in one proof

Logos, packaging and campaign artwork go to review as a PDF of all artboards, alongside your original AI file. Reviewers mark up each artboard in the browser.

  • Creates the PDF with the settings you choose, from a copy of your file
  • Selecting a page comment selects its artboard
  • Stays signed in when you reopen Illustrator

Adobe After Effects

Motion reviews with frame-accurate comments

Render the composition you are working on to a video and send it for review with your project. Reviewers pin feedback to an exact moment, and you jump straight to it.

  • Renders in the background while you keep working
  • Selecting a comment jumps to that moment in your composition
  • Never touches your open project or render queue

Adobe Premiere Pro

Timestamped video feedback, back on your timeline

Export your sequence as a video and upload it with your project. Reviewers comment on exact moments in the browser, and selecting a comment in the panel moves your playhead there.

Your footage files stay on your computer; only the video and project are uploaded.

Built for monday.com teams

Your Adobe files, on the board where work is planned

Choose a monday.com item in the panel and upload a draft straight to it. The review file is added to the item's files, the proof gets the item's workflow, and every new version keeps the same history. Project managers track approvals on the board while designers stay in Adobe.

Designed to be safe in your creative tools

Simple, safe sign-in

Connect each Adobe app by approving it in your browser. The panel never sees your password, and you can disconnect it from ProofNow at any time.

Same access as in ProofNow

The panel only shows the projects, items and proofs you can already open in ProofNow.

Adobe plugin questions

Which Adobe apps does ProofNow work with?
ProofNow has panels for Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects. Each app has its own panel that uploads the open document and shows its review feedback.
What does the plugin upload to ProofNow?
Two files: your original and a review copy made by your Adobe app. Photoshop sends the PSD or PSB plus a PNG image, InDesign the INDD plus a PDF of every page, Illustrator the AI file plus a PDF of every artboard, and Premiere Pro and After Effects your project plus an MP4 video. Reviewers open the review copy in their browser and can still download the original.
Do reviewers need Adobe Creative Cloud?
No. Only the designer uses the Adobe app. Reviewers open the proof in ProofNow or monday.com, or from an email link, and annotate it in any browser.
Can I see comments without leaving Photoshop or InDesign?
Yes. The panel lists the comments on the version you are working on, and you can resolve or reopen them. Selecting a comment opens its InDesign page or Illustrator artboard, or jumps to that moment in Premiere Pro or After Effects. In Photoshop it draws the reviewer’s markup on a copy of the image.
Will the plugin change my document?
No. The review file is always made from a copy, so your document, layers and settings stay exactly as they were, and nothing is left behind on your computer.
How does sign-in work?
Click Connect to ProofNow in the panel and approve it in your browser. The panel never sees your password, and you can disconnect it from ProofNow at any time.
Are linked images, fonts or footage uploaded too?
No. ProofNow keeps your document and its review copy, not the separate image, font or footage files. The review copy already shows everything, so reviewers see the complete design.
How large can uploads be?
Each file can be up to 1 GB. The panel shows progress while it uploads, and you can cancel at any time.
