This tutorial shows how to connect LabArchives to Proofig AI and run an image integrity analysis directly from a LabArchives notebook page. The overall workflow is the same as a regular Proofig AI submission — the main difference is that your images come from LabArchives instead of a local PDF, Word file, or image upload.

You can start directly from LabArchives. On the Proofig AI sign-up page, click Sign up with LabArchives to get instant access with your LabArchives account.

You will be asked to choose your region — Rest of the world or Australia — so that Proofig AI connects to the right LabArchives server. Then connect your notebook and select the notebook page you want to analyze. Proofig AI analyzes the images, highlights suspected issues, and lets you review the findings and generate a report.

Note: PDF upload is not available through the free LabArchives flow. Images for analysis come from your LabArchives notebook page.

Log in to Proofig AI and open the To-Do page (your dashboard).
From here, you can start a new analysis or continue an existing one.

Click Upload your manuscript to open the submission flow.
​

On the Submit page, choose LabArchives as your image source.
​

​
You’ll be asked to choose the LabArchives region — Rest of the world or Australia.

Important: Select the region where your electronic notebook was created (the LabArchives environment your notebook belongs to) — not your current physical location.

After selecting the region, log in to LabArchives using your credentials.

Once connected, select:

Images on the notebook page can include TIFF files, which are imported and analyzed like the other supported image formats.

Then click Select Page to import the page into Proofig AI.

Back on the Proofig AI submission page:

Click Submit to start processing.

Proofig AI will now process the submission and extract the relevant image data.
You can monitor progress from the To-Do page, where the manuscript status appears while it’s running.

If you did not skip the sub-image phase, you’ll be taken to the sub-image review screen. This is where you can confirm that the correct images were collected from the LabArchives page.

When you’re done, click Submit to continue.

Next, you’ll reach the Review page, where Proofig AI highlights suspected integrity issues.

On this page you can:

To include a finding, click Add to report.

You can also add comments on findings.
If you want your comments to appear in the final report, enable Add comments to report.

Once you’ve finished reviewing and selecting the relevant findings, click Generate Report.

Your report will include:

You can then view, download, and share the report as needed.

By integrating Proofig AI into LabArchives, we’re bringing image integrity to the earliest and most actionable point in the research lifecycle, directly inside the ELN, when images are created or uploaded. In minutes, Proofig can run what effectively amounts to millions of automated integrity checks, far beyond what any team could realistically do by eye, surfacing potential concerns, including duplications and other anomalies, while there is still time to correct, document, or repeat an experiment. This is essential for reproducibility: like a building made with flawed bricks and hidden under plaster, research can look solid on the surface even as hidden image issues quietly weaken the foundation. Once images are translated into quantified results and graphs, the original visual evidence is no longer front-and-center, and problems become far harder to spot or trace back. This partnership changes that dynamic by verifying images at the source, so scientific teams can build with confidence, protect credibility, and strengthen reproducibility across science.
