Searching for files in Version Cue projects


    Metadata, or file information, is automatically added to files in a Version Cue project as you work with the files, including version dates, version authors, and version comments. In addition, other information can be manually added to files in Creative Suite through the File Info command or Story Info (InCopy CS only). You can search this metadata to quickly locate files in a Version Cue project by specifying information such as titles, authors, copyright data, keywords, dates, and locations. In addition to searching through the project you specify, the search feature searches through files that were deleted from the project.
