USING ADOBE BRIDGE AND ADOBE VERSION CUE CS4
Adobe Version
Cue
Add a file to a project using Explorer or Finder
1
Start Version Cue Server and connect to that server using Adobe Drive.
2
Open the Version Cue Server in Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder.
The Version Cue Server appears in the same place where your mapped network drives and hard drives appear.
3
Open the project folder, and then drag the files you want to add into the folder.
4
To check in the file so that it’s available to others, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the file and
choose Adobe Drive CS4 > Check In. (In Mac OS X Leopard, choose More > Adobe Drive CS4 > Check In.) Type
a version comment and click OK.
Note:
If you check out a file and drag a new version of a file to a folder with an older version, you can check in the file and
create another version. However, if the file is replaced when it’s not checked out, previous versions of the file are deleted.
Add a file to a project using a fully enabled application
If you save a file to a project folder using one of the fully enabled applications—Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign,
InCopy, or Flash—you can check in the file during the save process.
1
Start Version Cue Server and connect to that server using Adobe Drive.
2
In the application such as Photoshop, choose File > Save As (or File > Check In), and then save the file to the project
folder.
3
Type a version comment and click OK.
The file is saved and checked in. If you edit the file, it’s checked out to you again. You can then check in another version
by choosing File > Check In. You can also check in the edited file when you close it.
Disconnect from a Version Cue Server
Disconnecting
Adobe Drive from a Version Cue Server makes the Version
Cue Server project files unavailable.
Disconnecting removes shortcuts to the project from Adobe Bridge. You may want to disconnect from a server if
someone in your workgroup creates a project. When you reconnect, you’ll be able to view the new project files.
❖
Do any of the following:
•
Open Adobe Drive. Double-click the server to which you are connected, and then click Disconnect Server. Or, click
the triangle icon
next to the server you want to disconnect.
•
In Adobe Bridge, click Version Cue in the Favorites folder, select the server, and choose Tools > Version Cue >
Disconnect.
