Opening, editing, and saving files and file versions with Version CueAfter a file has been saved to a Version Cue project, the file is automatically managed by Version Cue. When you begin to edit a file opened from the Version Cue workspace, Version Cue automatically ensures that no one overwrites your changes and that you don't overwrite changes made by someone else. Also, you don't have to bother specifying the file's name, version number, or location when saving the file or saving a new version because Version Cue manages all this for you. As you edit a file you've opened from a Version Cue workspace, you can use the File > Save command to save your changes to the working copy located on your computer. These changes are kept private; they aren't available to others using the Version Cue workspace and can't be restored using Version Cue. When you want to save a new version of that file, add comments to the version, and share it with others, you need to use the Save A Version command, which saves your changes to the Version Cue workspace. Versions of a file can be subsequently compared using thumbnails, and viewed, deleted, or promoted using the Versions command. To open and edit a file from a Version Cue project:
Note: If the Version Cue workspace or project isn't available (which may take several seconds to verify), the dialog box displays only working copies in the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your computer.
