Placing Version
Cue files
While you’re working with a Version
Cue project in Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Photoshop, you can add a
Version
Cue file to a document just as you would place a non-Version
Cue file—by using the Place command. You can
also drag a file from a Version
Cue project in Adobe Bridge to an open Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, Flash, or
Photoshop file.
Always add assets to a Version
Cue project before placing them in a Version
Cue-managed file. When you place a file
that is not managed by Version
Cue into a file that is, you cannot keep track of the placed asset's versions or status.
The Links panel in Illustrator displays additional information about placed files from Version
Cue projects, identifying
whether a linked file is being edited and which user is doing the editing. You can also use the Links panel to determine
whether the linked file needs to be updated to a newer version from the Version
Cue Server.
Replace a placed file with a previous version
You may find yourself working with multiple versions of a document that includes a link to a file with multiple
versions. If you decide to promote an earlier version of the document that includes a link to an earlier version of the
file, Version
Cue links to the current version of the file in the promoted document.
For example, suppose you create an InDesign document, place a Photoshop file in the document, and create multiple
versions of both the InDesign document and the Photoshop file. If you then decide to promote an earlier version of
the InDesign document, the link to the placed Photoshop file points to the current version of the file—not the version
of the file to which you originally linked in the promoted InDesign document. To resolve this issue, replace the linked
file with a previous version.
Note:
Illustrator, InCopy, or InDesign may display a thumbnail of the version of the file to which you originally linked
in the promoted document, but the link actually points to the most current version of the file. For example, when you
package an InDesign document that displays a thumbnail of the correct version, InDesign replaces the thumbnail of the
file with the most current (but incorrect) version.
1
In Illustrator, InCopy, or InDesign, select the file in the Links panel.
2
Choose Versions (Illustrator) or Utilities > Versions (InDesign or InCopy) from the Links panel menu.
3
Select a version and click Promote To Current Version. Enter a version comment if desired, and click Save.
View file status and versions in the Links panel
The Links panel functions the same with files that are managed with Version
Cue as with files that are not. For
example, if a newer version of a linked file is on the Version
Cue Server, the Modified Artwork icon
appears; if a
file is missing, the Missing Artwork icon
appears. To update a linked file from a Version
Cue project, you use the
same procedures used for files that aren’t managed by Version
Cue.
