About project files
When you work in files from a Version
Cue project, you edit the files in the server location. This process is unlike
Version
Cue CS3, in which you edit a
local copy
of the file on your hard drive and then synchronize the local and server
versions. In Version Cue CS4, synchronizing isn’t necessary because the project files appear only on the server.
Whenever you save a file, a temporary file is stored. New versions of the file are created on the server when you or a
different user checks in the file or saves a version.

File statuses
Files that are managed by Version
Cue are marked with a status icon that describes the state of the file on the
Version
Cue Server. You can view a file’s status while browsing the files in the status bar in enabled applications such
as InDesign and Illustrator.
A file can have more than one status at the same time.
Open
The file is open on your computer. The Open status is indicated only for files on your computer.
Checked Out By Me
You are editing the file. Version
Cue assigns this status when you make an edit that changes
the file’s content. You can mark a file as checked out before you edit it to alert other users that you intend to change
the content.
Checked Out By [user name]
Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new version.
Up-to-date
The latest known version of the file is checked in and available for editing.
Conflicting
There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are editing the file.
New File
The file appears in the project folder but has not been checked in to the Version
Cue Server. This status
may be applied, for example, if a file is saved in an existing project for the first time while the Version
Cue Server is
offline. You can edit the file, but it’s important to check in the file after you save your changes.
Newer Version On Server
A newer version of the file appears on the Version
Cue Server. This icon appears if
someone else checks in a version while you have the file open and up to date.
Server Not Accessible
The Version
Cue Server is offline, or you are offline and not able to access the server.
Deleted
The file or folder has been deleted from the project, but not yet permanently erased. (You can restore a
deleted file or folder.)
