Is there a way to create automation workflows from Proofs?
We're exploring ways of using PROOF as a way to get approval on requests. The Proof screen only allows the reviewer to select Approve or Require Changes.

Batch Convert Attachments to Proofs
I regularly send multiple, separate, files to clients for review and approval. Rather than converting each one and having to invite my client contacts every time, I'd like to select multiple rows and convert them from attachments to proofs, THEN invite my client, in one place.

Approval Template
I need to perform QAR on a set of data cubes assigned to users in Smartsheet. With over 5,000 users, each having different managers listed in a separate column, a single manager might have around 15 to 20 users assigned to them. When I want these QARs reviewed by their respective managers, using the approval workflow…
