Define and Create a Project
A project is a collaborative workspace (sandbox) where an Agency and the client
can upload and download elements to share with each other. The project is also a
place to manage the approval and review cycle for elements and to complete
online soft proofing using the Smart Review feature. After a project is complete,
the Agency can choose to either delete the project or save the work in the Asset
Library for future reference.
Once a project is created, folders can be created to organize images, graphics, or
other elements shared between the Agency and the client.
