Uploading Proofs
What file types can we upload as proofs?
You may upload image files (.JPEG, .TIFF, .PNG), Microsoft Office files (eg., Word, PPT), PDFs, and Video files (.mp4) into Hive.
You can also add a live website as proof for the approval.
For emails, upload the message as a file (.eml or .msg) as the proof. There is not a separate Email option in the Add proof UI.
How can I upload a file to the proof?
You can upload the file by clicking on "Add proof."
You can also upload a proof by dragging the file to the Approval app!
Are there file upload limits?
There is no file upload limit, although your bandwidth may limit upload speed.
Are there Proofing keyboard shortcuts?

Cmd+J(Mac) /Ctrl+J(Windows) to quickly drop an annotation comment on the proof.Pan Around — Hold

Can I upload multiple proofs?
Yes, it's possible to add more than one proof to an action card in a simultaneous upload. You can either upload multiple documents as one proof, or upload the documents as individual files.
Can you review the proof at the same time as someone else? Can you see who else has the file open?
Yes, concurrent reviews of the file are supported for collaborative reviews. Their comments will appear live during your review.
How do you replace a proof?
If you mistakenly uploaded a proof, you can upload the correct file and it will become the latest file on top and ready for review/routing or you can use the trash can icon to delete the proof.
When overriding a round in progress, is the previous proof version kept?
Yes. When uploading a new proof while the round is in progress, the previous version is pushed back to the show previous file versions section, and the new file uploaded is now the current version.
