The rail

Finding your way around. On your first day in Proof, the question is simple. Where do I go to do what? The answer is the rail on the left. It has six places, and each one answers a different question. Let's take them from the top.

Home

Home answers where your library stands, and what to do next. The status box sums up every document, and the lesson Your compliance at a glance explains each number in it. Under it, the Next line tells you how many documents the machine can fix for you, with a button to start that work. When you already know the document you want, search for it here. On Home, Command K, or Control K on Windows, puts you straight in this box.

Library

When you need a particular document, or a group of them, go to the Library. Every document lives there. Search it by name. To narrow it down, filter it by status, such as Failed or Needs review. Once your team makes folders, they appear here too, so you can work through one folder at a time. You don't have to open a document to see what it needs. Point at a card, and its preview shows on the right. The tags at the top say what's left, how many to fix and how many to review. Auto-fixable is the share of its problems the machine can fix on its own. Assignee says who is working on it. Each card also has a button for your next move. Claim marks the document as yours, so no one else starts on it. When you're ready to work on it, choose Open document.

Automate and Review

Some work is the machine's, and some is yours. Each has its own place. Automate runs the machine's fixes across many documents at once. What it drafts, such as picture descriptions, waits for a person to accept. Remediating in bulk shows how to start a run. Review collects the decisions only a person can make, from every document. They're grouped in one queue for each kind of question, like alt text, which describes a picture, or reading order. To see only the documents given to you, choose Assigned to me.

Reports and Downloads

When someone asks you to show your progress, Reports is where the evidence is. The Corpus Assessment and the WCAG Scorecard show where your library stands. The Evidence Register is the record for an auditor, and the Remediation Ledger lists what was done. Downloads keeps the zips your team exports from the Library, so you can download them again or share them. There are none here yet. Exporting many documents shows how to make one.

Your account

Last, the things that belong to you. They're under Account, at the bottom of the rail. The label under your name is your role, and it decides what you can change. Account settings holds your password and sign-in. Projects lists the separate collections your organization keeps. If something doesn't work, choose Send feedback. Help & resources has guides, and Sign out is at the end. That's the whole map. Now you know where to start each kind of work, and each place has its own lesson.
