Adding files to a Version Cue project


    To save versions of a file and take advantage of Version Cue file management in Adobe Creative Suite, the file needs to be added or saved to a Version Cue project. You can add files one at a time in the Creative Suite or you can add multiple files by synchronizing files you've placed into your My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder.

    Note: The maximum size for a single file in a Version Cue project is 2 GB.

    TipYou can also add assets such as swatch libraries to share with your workgroup. Add these files to the Documents folder in the project's My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder, and synchronize the files. (See Editing and synchronizing working copies with a Version Cue project.)

To add a copy of a file to a Version Cue project in Creative Suite:

  1. Open the file in Illustrator CS, InCopy CS, InDesign CS, or Photoshop CS.
  2. Choose File > Save As.
  3. Click Version Cue Version Cue button (Windows) (Windows) or Version Cue button (Mac OS) (Mac OS).
  4. Double-click a Version Cue workspace Workspace icon (Windows) or Workspace icon (Mac OS) to open it.
  5. Double-click a Version Cue project Project icon (Windows) (Windows) or Project icon (Mac OS) (Mac OS) to open it.

To copy one or more files or folders to a Version Cue project by synchronizing the files:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Locate the project folder inside the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your computer.
    • If the project folder isn't already in the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your hard disk, create a new folder inside the Version Cue folder. Name the folder with the same name as the existing Version Cue project on the workspace. Inside the new project folder, create a new folder and name it Documents.
  2. Move or copy the items you want to add to the project into the Documents folder that is inside the project folder in the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your computer.
  3. In Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, choose File > Open and click Version Cue. Open the Version Cue workspace, the project, and the Documents folder. Choose Synchronize from the Project Tools menu Project Tools menu icon.
