TECHNICAL

What are the technical requirements?

Please refer to our Global FAQs for minimum requirements.

Will I need an internet connection to view my eBooks on ProView?

No, you can access your titles on ProView while you are offline. You will need to first download your titles for offline use, which requires an internet connection.

You can download publications from the library by choosing "Download title” from the overflow menu on the title card of the publication you wish to download. You can also download a publication from within an opened title by clicking the download icon in the header. Once the titles have been downloaded, you can access them through the ProView web application without an internet connection. You can access, read and search your downloaded content while offline.


How many eBooks will I be able to fit on my device?

The number of titles that can be downloaded to a device will depend on several factors: the available disk space of the device; the size of the downloaded files; and the amount of space the browser has allocated to the ProView website.


What devices is ProView compatible with?

The Thomson Reuters ProView web-based application is accessed via the Chrome browser. With the new ProView web application, offline capability is now available from your browser. The new web application has a responsive design and is compatible with desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.


Can I access my ProView titles on a different reader device like Kindle?

No. Thomson Reuters ProView titles are only accessible from the ProView website. You may access the website using a browser via any device but you cannot remove the content from the eReader.

Who can I contact for technical support?

If you are experiencing technical issues, you can contact our technical support team by telephone on 0345 600 9355 or by completing the online services enquiry form.


What is the new ProView platform?

In September 2021 we launched our brand-new browser based platform for accessing legal eBooks on ProView. The new platform includes all the same functionality as the current ProView, such as offline access, page numbers and transferable notes and annotations, but as it is completely browser based, an app no longer needs to be installed to use it. The new platform can be accessed by entering existing One Pass credentials on the login page. A new User Guide and FAQs are also available.


What should I do if I experience any technical difficulties using the new ProView web platform?

Please complete the online services enquiry form with any comments or issues encountered and one of our team will be in touch to help. We are aware that a small number of users have experienced issues with downloading larger files to a smartphone or tablet and are working to resolve this. We welcome any other feedback you may have on the new ProView web application.
