Files, proofs and approvals

What to attach, and how proof approval works.

  1. 1

    Attach what you have

    Order forms, logos, reference photos, previous artwork — anything that helps. Choose the file type (order form, Erply PDF, other) and click Upload.

  2. 2

    Wait for the proof

    Nova Gear prepares the artwork and uploads a proof. You get an email, and the order shows Proof pending with a highlighted Your approval needed panel.

  3. 3

    Approve or request changes

    Open the proof file, check names, numbers, colours and sizes carefully. Click Approve to send it to production, or Request changes with a note about what needs fixing. Nova Gear will upload a new version.

  4. 4

    Versions are kept

    Every proof version stays on the order under Proof history, with who approved it and when.

Questions we get

I approved by mistake.
