A user is reviewing a proof of a legal document that requires multiple approvals. There are several Images in the proof, all of which conform to the brand standards laid out by the organization. As the user works through the proof, the changes required all relate to written copy. How should the user efficiently highlight and provide comments?

The Text Select tool is the most efficient and precise method for commenting on written copy. This tool allows the user to highlight specific words, sentences, or paragraphs directly within the proof. When text is highlighted using this tool, it is automatically copied into the comment field, streamlining the process of providing specific feedback on the text that needs to be changed.

A. Freehand tool: This tool is used for drawing freeform shapes. It is not designed for selecting text and would be inefficient and imprecise for commenting on specific written copy.
B. Box tool: This tool draws a rectangle around a general area. While it can be used to indicate a paragraph, it does not select the specific text, making it less precise for copy edits.

1. Adobe Workfront Documentation, "Markup tools in the proofing viewer": This official guide details the various tools available for proofing. It describes the Text Select tool's function: "Use the Text Select tool to highlight text on the proof. When you highlight text, the text is copied into the comment area." This confirms it is the designated tool for text-specific feedback. The document also describes the Freehand and Rectangle (Box) tools as general drawing markups, not specific to text selection.

2. Adobe Workfront Documentation, "Review a proof in the proofing viewer": This document outlines the proof review process and the tools involved. In the section "Add comments and markup to a proof," it explains that to comment on text, the user should "Select the Text tool, then drag your cursor to highlight the text you want to comment on." This explicitly identifies the Text Select tool as the correct choice for the scenario described.
