Can a proof be accessed via a published report?

Kristen Christman

I'm trying to give our general users/stakeholders access to a report that shows any proofs awaiting their approval (they get the initial email invitation and I have reminders sent out every few days if their feedback is still pending), and I want to publish the report so that I don't need to share the underlying sheet with them. When I publish it and view that published link, it seems like all action columns at the left (attachments, comments, proofs) disappear, regardless of if I hid them or left them visible in the original report. Is there any way I can share a published report and still give the user access to view their proofs? The row with proofs pending approval shows up on the published report, but they cannot take any action, like open up the proof widget, because it's just not appearing.

@Kristen Christman Hi - In case you don’t find SOR get an answer I will share what I usually do to satisfy my curiosity.

I tend to reach out to people internal/external to the team/organization I’ve built working relationships with, explain the why and what, then I ask them if they have some time to assist with executing a couple of quick test cases. Hope this serves as an option. 🙂
