Working with Adobe Version Cue managed projects


    Adobe Version Cue is an innovative set of features designed to increase your productivity when you work alone or collaborate with others. Version Cue integrates design management into your existing workflows within and across the Adobe Creative Suite applications, including Adobe GoLive CS, Adobe Illustrator CS, Adobe InDesign CS, and Adobe Photoshop CS.

    Note: The Version Cue features are only compatible with the Adobe Version Cue Workspace, which is only available as part of the Adobe Creative Suite.

    Version Cue streamlines the following tasks while you work in the Creative Suite:

    • Creating file versions.
    • Maintaining file security.
    • Organizing files into private or shared projects.
    • Browsing with file thumbnails, and searching file information and version comments.
    • Reviewing file information, comments, and file statuses in private and shared projects while you browse.

    In addition, you can use the Version Cue Workspace Administration for more advanced tasks:

    • Duplicate, export, backup and restore projects.
    • View information about projects in the workspace.
    • Import files to the workspace using FTP or WebDAV.
    • Delete file versions and remove file locks.
    • Create project users and define their project privileges.
    • Restrict access to a specific project.

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Mac OS).
  2. Select Enable Version Cue, and click OK.
  3. To view the complete Version Cue documentation, see Adobe Version Cue Help. You can also view the Version Cue documentation as a PDF or print it by opening the VersionCueHelp.pdf file located on the Adobe Creative Suite CD and the Adobe Illustrator CS CD.
