Can I see a real print proof before my letters mail?
Yes. Mailyard renders three to five test proofs through the print pipeline, sampled for edge cases like the longest name.
What happens if I edit the campaign after approving?
Any edit creates a new version and resets the approval, so you review fresh proofs.
Can I cancel or move a scheduled drop?
Yes, until it prints. Drops are scheduled at least 24 hours ahead.
