Tips for Smartsheet integrations for Adobe Creative Cloud

• Comments and annotations for proofs don't appear in the Smartsheet pane of your Adobe application. 
• The sheet selector may be slow if you can access many sheets or complex folder structures in Smartsheet. 
• You can't remove an image from a proof or delete a proof from the Smartsheet pane in your Adobe application. However, you can delete versions of a proof.
• Upload pages and artboards to a proof one at a time.
