This document introduces PageProof’s new “Skip approved reviewers” feature, designed to speed up proof‑review cycles. When a new proof version is uploaded, reviewers who already approved the previous version can be automatically bypassed. Users enable the feature via a three‑dot menu on a workflow and select “Skip reviewers who previously approved”. Approved reviewers are moved to a new top‑step labeled “approved the previous version”, and the workflow starts at the next step, leaving those reviewers out of the current cycle. The spotlight explains the motivation (respect reviewers’ time, accelerate deadlines), shows before‑and‑after reviewer lists, outlines the UI steps to activate the feature, and highlights the efficiency gains for creative projects.
