Is there a way to make the print bleed visible in Workiva's editing view?

I've noticed that in Workiva, print bleed is only visible when exporting the document to PDF and enabling the Print Bleed option. However, as designers, wouldn’t it be more efficient if we could see the print bleed in real-time while editing the document?

Having the print bleed visible during editing would significantly enhance our workflow. It would allow us to:

Ensure Design Integrity: By seeing the print bleed in real-time, we can accurately position and adjust content to avoid any important elements being trimmed off during printing.
Facilitate Precise Layouts: Real-time visibility of print bleed enables us to align and adjust graphics and text precisely within the bleed area, ensuring a seamless transition from digital to print.
Streamline Proofing Process: Early detection of potential bleed issues during the editing phase reduces the chances of last-minute adjustments and rework during the proofing stage.

Integrating this feature would not only save time but also improve the accuracy and quality of our print materials. Has there been any consideration or plans to implement this feature in future updates?

Xhan,

Thanks for sharing your feedback here. I agree, it would definitely be useful to make the print bleed visible in our editing view. I've created an idea ticket to share the desire for this enhancement with our product team. They will review it for consideration and be in touch!
