Working off-line in a Version Cue project in GoLive


    When you need to work on files from a Version Cue project site in GoLive CS while the Version Cue workspace is turned off or you can't access the workspace on a network, you can edit working copies located on your computer. When you open the Version Cue site project file or any file in the Version Cue project site window while off-line, the site and document windows display Off-line in the title bar.

    Files you've downloaded while online and files you've previously edited can be edited off-line. When you manually download files from the Version Cue workspace, a working copy of each selected file is added to the site's Web-Content folder on your computer, and the file status of each is marked Available. If you check out a file, a copy of each selected file is added to the site's Web-Content folder on your computer, but the file is marked as in use by you when other users review the file's status or attempt to edit the file.

    When the Version Cue workspace is available to you again, you can check your edited files back in to save new versions to the Version Cue workspace.
