USING ADOBE BRIDGE AND ADOBE VERSION CUE CS4
Adobe Version
Cue
View a previous version in its native application
If you view a previous version in its native application, changes you make aren’t reflected in the current version (unless
you promote the previous version to be the current version). You can, however, save edits to a previous version as a
new asset.
1
To open the Versions dialog box, choose Show Versions from the menu in the status bar of a CS4 application such
as InDesign or Illustrator.
2
Click the version that you want to open and click View Version.
Version
Cue opens the previous version in its own document window. The version number appears in the file’s title
bar to remind you that it is not the current version. The file status is Never Saved, because the previous version is only
a snapshot of a previous stage of the file.
Promote a version
Promoting a previous version saves a copy of the previous version as the current version. This process keeps the
previous version intact if you decide to return to it again in the future. Any changes made between its creation and
promotion don’t appear in the new current version.
1
Do one of the following:
•
In the Versions dialog box, select the version you want to promote, and click Promote To Current Version.
•
In Adobe Bridge, select the version you want to promote, and click the Promote icon

Type a version comment in the Check In dialog box and click OK.
Delete a version

In Adobe Bridge, select the version you want to delete, and click the Delete button in the Content panel.
The remaining versions are not renumbered. You cannot restore deleted versions.
Using Version
Cue Server Administration, you can delete multiple previous versions of all files in a project
simultaneously. By using this method, you can retain past versions by date or by number of versions to keep. See
“
Create and manage projects in Version
Cue Server Administration
” on page
74.
Revert to the last version
When you revert to the last version, you cancel any changes you’ve made since you last checked in the file or checked
out the file.
•
In Explorer or Finder, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a file, and choose Adobe Drive CS4 >
Cancel Check Out. (In Mac OS X Leonard, choose More > Adobe Drive CS4 > Cancel Check Out.) When
prompted, click Revert To Last Version.
•
In Adobe Bridge, select the project file and choose Tools > Version Cue > Revert To Last Version, or click the Revert
button
