Version Cue versions

View versions

Versions are treated as separate files, which you can access through the Versions dialog box in all Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite components or through the Content panel in Bridge. The Versions dialog box and Bridge display thumbnails of all file versions (numbered sequentially) with comments, dates, and the login name of the user who created the version.
If you want to compare versions in detail, you can choose to view each version in its native application.

View versions
1. In Acrobat, Flash, InCopy, Illustrator, InDesign, or Photoshop, click Version Cue in the Favorites panel of the Adobe dialog box and open the project that contains the file whose versions you want to view.
2. Select the file whose versions you want to view.
3. Choose Versions from the Tools or Project Tools (Acrobat) menu.

Versions appear in the Versions dialog box.

View versions in Bridge
1 Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel.
2 Open the project containing the file for which you want to view versions, and select the file.
3 Choose Tools > Version Cue > Versions, or click the Versions button in the Content panel. Versions appear in the Content panel.

View a previous version in its native application
If you view a previous version in its native application, changes you make won’t be 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.
Do one of the following:

• In the Versions dialog box, click the version that you want to open and click View.
• In Bridge, double-click the version you want to open.

Version Cue opens the previous version in its native application. 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.
