Ability to Click Links in Documents when Proofing

When proofing a document, we often run into issues with not being able to click active links within that document. Instead, we have to download the document to see where the link leads. Since following a link is often part of proofing, it would be nice to have this integrated into the proofing feature.

I second this feature! Link checking is very important and it seems silly to have to download it to check them, then go back to Wrike to leave comments.

Kelly Hanson

Agreed! This functionality is necessary. We often have links that need to be checked during the proofing/approval process. Not being able to click them is a definite problem.

Hey guys! Our Product team are aware of this feedback, and they are considering implementing this, with no ETA at the moment. I'll let you know when I know more.

Thank you for your feedback!

This feature has been requested by several business users within our organization. This seems like a necessary feature for teams to expect document reviews to be facilitated through document proofing. Any update would be great!

Hi, my team also see this as an essential feature to be able to click on links within docs, PDFs, PPTs etc. Could we get an ETA on this request? Thank you

Hi, This is a key feature for our team too. Would love to see this added to the roadmap. Thanks!

Hi @Meghan Sharer, thanks for adding your support here 🙌🏼

This feature is a necessity for our team as well. Having to download files to check links is time-intensive and not a good workflow.

Tonya Ammon

I would love to see this feature added as well. It would be a huge time saver to check links within the Wrike platform.

Hello! Our team also very much needs this functionality for proofing. I see this thread was opened in 2018 with many other users expressing need for it. Has any progress been made since then, is there a workaround or update from the product team?

Austin Ballard

It's been 7 years. Any progress on this feature? It's really frustrating to have to download the files externally just to even see the links in the file.

Olivia Barrow

This feature is so desperately needed. I can't believe marketing teams actually use Wrike for proofing when this feature is missing. It causes so much confusion and lost time for my organization.

Regina Peavler

We would like this feature as well.
