When projects are requested or created, designers and others can be assigned to upload proofs for [deliverables](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-create-workflow-projects-and-deliverables "How do I create Workflow projects and deliverables?") and to route them. A deliverable needs at least the first version of a proof for routing to begin. Proof providers are [notified by email](/acquia-dam/what-preferences-can-be-set-workflow "What preferences can be set up in Workflow?") that a proof is needed.  
  
When you're assigned to provide a proof, go to All proofs > Needs proof and select the deliverable. Add the proof by uploading a file that is 5 GB or smaller. The proof will be added as a [version](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-add-versions-proofs "How do I add versions of proofs?").

Choose to update the routing information, including the timeline, reviewers, and commenters, before routing the next version.

Change proof providers
----------------------

If you need to update the proof provider because project priorities have changed or someone is out of the office, you can make that change by clicking to edit the existing provider's name.

![If someone else will be uploading the proof, edit the proof provider.](https://acquia.widen.net/content/p3kykvvwh6/web/ka0Pb00000070OH00N6g00000WDN1a0EM6g000005Lvlq.png?v=a9617a0c-428c-4518-b907-0a4fdb3bc417)

Can't add a proof
-----------------

If you can’t upload a proof to project, you haven’t been designated as a proof provider or aren't the project creator.
