    The Export proof window opens.

  6. From the Organize By drop-down menu, select how you want the proof to be organized. Options include:

    • Flat List - All of the proof is exported into a single folder.

    • Control ID - proof is exported into a separate folder for each control.

    • Request reference - proof into a separate folder for each request.

  7. Optionally, select one or both of the following checkboxes:

    • Prepend file name with control ID - Adds the ID of the associated control to the beginning of the proof file name.

    Note

    Selecting the the Prepend filename with request reference checkbox is highly recommended.

    If you select both checkboxes, the control ID displays first followed by the request ID. Example:
