Viewing Version Cue workspaces, projects, and file information


    You can show or hide columns, in the Open, Place, Save A Copy, and Save As dialog boxes in Illustrator CS, InCopy CS, InDesign CS, and Photoshop CS, that display information about the workspaces, projects, and files as you browse them. You can also move the pointer over a file to quickly view a summary of that information as well as metadata that was embedded into the file with the File Info command. For more information on using the File Info command, see the CS application's Help.

    Files that are managed by Version Cue will always be in one of six different Version Cue file states. You can view the status of a file while browsing the files in a Version Cue project and also in the document window's title bar after opening a file from the Version Cue workspace.

    Files that are managed by Version Cue display one of the following file statuses:

    Available

    Indicates that the file is available for editing.

    Ready For Download

    Indicates that the file is on the Version Cue workspace and can be copied to a working file in the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your computer.

    In Use By Me

    Indicates that you are editing the file.

    In Use By Me Elsewhere

    Indicates that you are editing the file on a different computer than the computer that you are currently using.

    In Use By User_Name

    Indicates that the specified user is editing the file.

    Offline

    Indicates that the Version Cue workspace has been turned off or you've lost network access to the workspace.
