Question

What should I do if my proof shows "checking files"?

Answer

A status of "checking files" simply means the system is still processing your uploaded artwork. It is a normal stage in the proofing workflow and usually clears on its own.

  • The files are being reviewed and prepared before a proof can be posted.
  • Give it a little time, as this step is expected.
  • If the status sticks for longer than you would expect, contact support.
  • Support can confirm your files are processing correctly and are not stuck.
