About Version
Cue
Version
Cue acts as a virtual server that lets designers work collaboratively on a set of common files. Designers can
easily track and manipulate multiple versions of files.
Version Cue consists of two pieces: the Version
Cue Server and Adobe Drive. The Version
Cue Server can be installed
locally or on a dedicated computer, and it hosts Version
Cue projects and PDF reviews. Adobe Drive connects to
Version Cue CS4 servers. The connected server appears like a hard drive or mapped network drive in Explorer, Finder,
and dialog boxes such as Open and Save As.

Use Version
Cue to track versions of a file as you work and to enable workgroup collaboration such as file sharing,
version control, backups, online reviews, and the ability to check files in and out. You can organize Version
Cue-
managed files into private or shared projects.
Version
Cue is integrated with Adobe Bridge: Use Adobe Bridge as a file browser for Version
Cue projects. With
Adobe Bridge, you can access Version
Cue Servers, projects, and files, and view, search for, and compare information
about Version
Cue-managed assets.
Use Version
Cue Server Administration to create and manage user access, projects, and PDF reviews; administer
backups; export content; and specify advanced Version
Cue Server information.

Version
Cue is not available in Adobe Bridge with Adobe Photoshop
