Open a file in a project
You can open files only from projects that are stored on a local Version
Cue Server or from shared projects on a remote
server that is configured to be visible to others.
You can open a project file in any application. If you open a checked-in file from within Photoshop, Illustrator,
InDesign, Flash, or InCopy, the file is checked out automatically, and you can save versions of the file from within the
application. Users using CS3 applications can use the Adobe Dialog to open Version Cue CS4 project files. If you open
a project file in any other application, you’ll need to check in and out files manually. (See “
Using Version Cue CS4 with
other applications
” on page 46.)
Note:
Make sure that you are connected to the Version Cue Server project using Adobe Drive. See “
Connect to servers
using Adobe Drive
” on page
54.

Open a project file from within an application
1
In your application, choose File
> Open.
2
Open the server drive that contains the Version Cue project.
In Windows, click My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Vista), or display the Look In menu. Locate the project
folder, which appears as a mapped network drive. In Mac OS, click the mounted server.
3
Double-click the project that contains the file you want to open.
4
Select the file, and click Open.
Open a project file from Adobe Bridge
1
Click Version
Cue in the Favorites panel.
2
Double-click the Version Cue server in the Content panel, double-click the project that contains the file you want
to open, and then double-click the file.
Adobe Bridge relies on the operating system to know which application to use when opening the file. If the file opens
in the wrong application, open the file directly from within the desired application, or change the system settings to
specify a different default application for the file type.
Edit files checked out by another user
If someone is editing a file stored in a project folder, Version
Cue changes the file’s status to Checked Out, informs you
that the file is already checked out when you try to edit your project file, and allows you to decide whether to continue
working with a copy of the file.
When finished with the file, both users can save a new version of the file to the Version
Cue Server. Version
Cue alerts
all current users of the file about the presence of a new version in the Version
Cue Server and gives them the option of
downloading the latest version or continuing their edits.
Use Version
Cue Server Administration to assign lock protection to a Version
Cue project. Only the user who checks
out an available file in a lock-protected project can check in a version of that file to the Version
Cue project. For more
information, see “
Create and manage projects in Version
Cue Server Administration
” on page
74.
