First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at an editing device, input identifying files associated with an electronic publication;
monitoring, at the editing device, file metadata associated with the electronic publication files for data indicative of a modification to the electronic publication files;
identifying one or more modified files based on the monitoring;
transmitting file metadata associated with the modified files to a portable device coupled to the editing device;
receiving file information from the portable device identifying at least one of the modified files; and

Abstract
A user can proof (e.g., view, review) an electronic publication on a portable device. When the user finds errors in the electronic publication on the portable device, the user can edit the electronic publication on the editing device. The changes can be automatically synchronized with the portable device and displayed so that the user can review the changes and continue proofing the electronic publication on the portable device. In some implementations, an editing device can monitor files associated with an electronic publication for changes to the files and, when changes are detected, the files can be automatically synchronized to a portable device coupled to the editing device.
