User Guide
To save a new version of a file, you use the Save A Version command, which saves your changes to the Version Cue
Workspace. Versions of a file can be subsequently compared using thumbnails, and viewed, deleted, or promoted
using the Versions command.

Do one of the following:
• In Photoshop, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, or Acrobat 7, choose File > Save A Version.
•
In Bridge, choose Tools > Version Cue > Save A Version.
2 In the Save A Version dialog box, enter comments you want to associate with this version.

To save a version of a non-Adobe file
Note:
You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See “Availability of Version Cue features” on page 71 for more information.
Bridge opens files in their native applications so that you can make changes. You can save versions of non-Adobe files
only if (1) the files are in a Version Cue project and (2) the files have been opened through Bridge. After you create
versions with this procedure, you can access them from the Versions dialog box in Adobe Creative Suite components,
from InCopy, and from the Versions View of Bridge.
1 Start Bridge.
2
In the Favorites panel, click Version Cue, and then navigate to the project containing the file you want to save as
a version.
3 Double-click the file to open it.
4
When the file opens in its native application, make your changes, and save and close the file.
5 In Bridge, choose Tools > Version Cue > Save A Version.
6
In the Save A Version dialog box, enter comments you want to associate with the version, and then click Continue.
Note:
You can save versions of nonembedded graphics, image, and text files in InCopy, InDesign, and Illustrator by using
the Edit Original command in the Links palette. After editing the file, save it in its native application. Then, in the Links
palette, select the file and use the Save Link Version command to save a version in the Version Cue project. For more
information, see InCopy Help, InDesign Help, or Illustrator Help.
Viewing and comparing versions
Versions are always available for you to view and compare. Each version is treated as a separate file, which you can
access through the Versions dialog box in all Adobe Creative Suite components and in InCopy. The Versions dialog
box displays thumbnails of all file versions alongside comments, dates, and the login name of the user who created
the version. Each version is numbered sequentially. You can view any version at any time. You can also
promote a
version, that is, make a previous version the current one. You can also delete versions if they are irrelevant or if you
need to save disk space. When you delete older versions, the version numbers of the remaining versions remain the
same.
The Versions And Alternates view in Bridge displays versions of all the files in a project. This view is useful for
comparing versions, because all the versions are available in one place for you to view or promote—you don’t need
to search your hard drive for saved files. When you want to compare details of versions, you can choose to view each
version in its native application.
