Feature
Branded proof links
Drag a proof in, get a URL out. Proofs go to your customers on your own subdomain, under your own job number, with your logo on the page and a password when the work needs one.
What your customer receives
yourcompany.proofscene.com/CG24001234
Your name, your job number, your customer's confidence.
What the link does
A proof address you own
The link is the product as far as your customer is concerned. It is worth making sure it looks like yours.
Your subdomain, not ours
Proofs go out on yourcompany.proofscene.com, so the page your customer lands on reads as your shop rather than a tool you happen to use.
The job number is the URL
A link ending in your own reference — /CG24001234 — is instantly searchable in your inbox, your MIS and your customer's.
Optional password per link
Unreleased packaging, government credentials and NDA work can carry a password on that specific proof without locking down every job.
Drag a proof in, get a URL out
The whole interaction is one drop and one copy. Paste the link into the email you were already writing.
Your logo and colors
The proof page carries your identity. The customer is approving work from their printer, not from a third party they have never heard of.
Same link, new revision
Push round two to the same URL. Anyone who bookmarked or forwarded it now sees the current artwork instead of the superseded round.
Four steps
From file on your desktop to link in their inbox
- 01
Drop the proof in
Drag the artwork or proof file onto ProofScene. No project setup, no folder ceremony.
- 02
Set the reference
Use your own job number. It becomes the end of the URL and the key everything else is filed under.
- 03
Protect it if needed
Add a password when the work is confidential. Leave it open when speed matters more.
- 04
Copy and send
Paste the link into your normal proof email, alongside your normal PDF. Nothing about how you communicate has to change.
Why a link beats an attachment
Four practical reasons, none of them about technology
- Deliverability
- A link is a few dozen characters. A packaging proof is tens of megabytes. One of those reliably arrives at a corporate mail server and one does not.
- Trust
- Buyers are trained to distrust unfamiliar domains. A URL on your own subdomain, sent from your own address, does not look like something to be careful about.
- Findability
- When the customer searches their inbox for the job number three weeks later, the link is right there — and it still opens the current version.
- Control
- You decide what lives at that address. Retire a link when a job closes, or replace its contents when the artwork moves on.

Proof links, answered
What is a branded proof link?
A branded proof link is the URL you send a customer to review their proof, hosted on your own subdomain — for example yourcompany.proofscene.com/CG24001234 — and carrying your logo and colors, so the review page reads as your business rather than a third-party tool.
How do I create a proof link?
Drag the proof in, set your job reference, optionally add a password, and copy the URL. It is designed to take less time than attaching a PDF to an email, because that is what it is competing with.
Can I password protect a proof?
Yes, per link. Some work needs it — unreleased packaging, credential programs, anything under NDA — and most work does not. Protecting everything by default just adds friction to jobs that never needed it.
What happens when I send a new revision?
The link points at the current round. Anyone who saved, bookmarked or forwarded the URL sees the latest artwork rather than a superseded version, which removes the most common cause of approving the wrong file.
Can I use my own domain instead of a subdomain?
Standard accounts use a branded subdomain on proofscene.com. Shops that need proofs served entirely from their own domain and infrastructure can run ProofScene self-hosted, or use the white-label option to present it as their own product.
Are proof links private?
Links are unlisted and not indexed, and any link can carry a password. Treat an unprotected link like an emailed attachment: fine for most commercial work, and worth locking when the artwork is genuinely confidential.
Does the customer need an account to open a link?
No. They click, the proof opens, they review and respond. Every login placed in front of a print buyer is a reason for an approval to stall for another day.
