Using the Links palette with files from a Version Cue project


    When the Version Cue preference is enabled in Adobe Illustrator CS or Adobe InDesign CS, the Links palette identifies who is editing a linked file from a Version Cue project, and lets you save different versions of a linked file.

    The entire Links palette, including the file status column, functions the same with files from a Version Cue project as it does with files that aren't managed by Version Cue. For example, if a newer version of a linked file is on the Version Cue workspace, the Modified Artwork icon Modified Artwork icon displays; if a file is missing, the Missing Artwork icon Missing Artwork icon displays. To update a linked file from a Version Cue project, you use the same procedures used with files that aren't managed by Version Cue. (See Illustrator Help or InDesign Help for more information on working with the Links palette and placed files.)

    The Version Cue edit status column in the Links palette displays nothing if the linked file is available, or it displays one of four status icons.
