Approval & soft-proofing support.
Approval and soft-proofing modules sit alongside the main workflow engine in both Esko and HYBRID stacks. PWS supports both — independently and the integrations between them.
What's covered.
Esko WebCenter — packaging artwork management, approval cycles, project lifecycle, MIS/PLM integration. WebCenter Go, WebCenter Pack, and WebCenter Enterprise are all in scope.
HYBRID Cloudflow Proofscope — in-browser soft proofing, deep-zoom inspection, annotation, version comparison, 3D rendering via iC3D integration. Used with Cloudflow Workspace.
These are different vendors' products. PWS supports them independently — and the integrations between them: AE Pilot ↔ WebCenter approval cycles, Cloudflow ↔ CERM Web4Labels via Proofscope's JDF-JMF bridge.

Custom nodes, not workarounds.
Most WebCenter approval routing issues stem from trying to force out-of-the-box workflow actions to do things they weren't designed for. PWS builds custom workflow action nodes where the standard library falls short — rather than layering workaround on workaround until the approval flow collapses under its own weight.
