About Bridge Center
If you are working with the Adobe Creative Suite, Bridge Center gives you quick access to your most recent files and
folders, RSS newsreaders for the latest information, tips and tricks for using Adobe products, color management
features, and Help documentation. It even lets you start new Version Cue projects.
To display Bridge Center, select it in the Favorites panel.
Note:
If you don’t see Bridge Center in the Favorites panel, make sure that Center is selected in the General preferences.
See “To set Bridge preferences” on page 52.
Adobe Stock Photos
Opens the Adobe Stock Photos home page in Bridge.
Saved File Groups
Lists sets of files that you have saved as a group, even if they are being used in separate applica
tions. When you create a saved file group, you assemble and name a set of files, which Bridge then closes. When you
open a saved file group, Bridge reopens the current version of those files, launching the appropriate Adobe Creative
Suite applications as needed. See “To work with saved file groups in Bridge Center” on page 61.
Note:
Saved file groups do not preserve versions of files; groups always contain the most current version of the files. For
instance, suppose you include the file logo.jpg in a saved file group. If you open the saved file group later, edit the logo.jpg
file, and save it in another group, both saved file groups will contain the same logo.jpg file.
Recent Folders
Lists your most recently visited folders. See “To use recent folders or files from Bridge Center” on
page 62.

RSS Reader
RSS displays shared web content, such as headlines from different websites and the latest information
on products from Adobe. RSS stands for
Really Simple Syndication
and is an XML format used to gather and
distribute web content while reducing traffic to websites. See “To use RSS content in Bridge Center” on page 62.
