Feature Friday: Q3 2026

Green PageProof hero banner announcing Q3 2016 Feature Friday with the slogan 'Fresh features every week, for teams who proof smarter' and confetti on the right.

Q3 is here! And every Friday, we will continue to spotlight a PageProof feature that transforms how teams review and approve their work.

We are excited to share new features of all sizes—sometimes the smaller features have the biggest impact on your workflow.

You can now open PageProof links directly in the desktop app instead of your web browser.

If you’re already working from the PageProof Desktop app on Mac or Windows, chasing a link back into a browser tab adds another step to your workflow. Now it doesn’t have to.

Simply enable Open PageProof links in the desktop app in your Profile preferences, and from then on, whenever you click a PageProof link, whether it’s in an email, a Slack message, or another tool, it will launch straight into the desktop app instead of your browser.

Banner with an on toggle: 'OPEN LINKS IN DESKTOP APP' and the note 'PageProof links open in the PageProof desktop app when it's installed.'

Why you’ll love it

  • Open PageProof links directly in the desktop app
  • Stay in your native desktop workflow
  • Switch between reviewing and approving without bouncing back to your browser
  • Available in both the Mac and Windows desktop apps

Built for how you already work

If you’re a Mac user, the PageProof Desktop app already lets you keep PageProof in your dock and drag files straight onto it to create a proof, with built-in support for reviewing live website proofs, no browser extension required.

If you’re on Windows, the PageProof app brings that same full-featured experience to your desktop, laptop, or tablet, with complete feature parity to pageproof.com and the same no-extension website proofing.

This update ties both experiences together: once you’re in the desktop app, you stay there.

Haven’t downloaded the desktop app yet? Get it for Mac or Windows today.

What’s next

Feature Friday continues every week. Follow along to discover the PageProof features helping creative and marketing teams review faster, stay aligned, and approve with confidence.
