New graphic user interface for InSite Prepress Portal
InSite Prepress Portal 9.0 contains the first release of a new and streamlined user interface. The Prepress Portal 9.0 user interface has been redesigned and reorganized to provide the user with an up-to-date and user-friendly experience.
The new user interface consists of four major areas:
- The main navigation area—consists of two tabs, Jobs and Administration
- The title area—where you can view the name of your selected object
- The actions and filters area—where you can perform various actions that are related to the selected object and filter your jobs by customer and status.
- The details panel— displays the properties of the selected object, and enables parameter editing.
If you have used previous versions of InSite Prepress Portal, you’ll quickly forget that you needed to switch between several different windows and dialog boxes. You’ll find it easier and faster to do your work, using a single window to review pages, upload jobs, approve or reject pages, and interactively edit the properties of job elements.
InSite Prepress Portal 9.0 reduces the number of clicks needed to do your job.
For more information about performing specific actions, see the InSite Prepress Portal Quick Start Guide or the InSite Prepress Portal User Guide.

Page list display no longer waits for all thumbnails to be drawn
