Version Cue file statuses
Filesthatare managedbyVersion Cueare always marked with astatusiconthatdescribes thestate of thefileonthe
Version Cue Workspace. You can view a file’s status while browsing the files in a Version Cue project, in Bridge, and
also in the document window’s Status area after opening a file from the Version Cue Workspace in an Adobe Creative
Suitecomponent.InAcrobat,the status is displayedinthe titlebar.Afile canhavemorethanone status at thesame
time (in some cases only one status is shown).
Each file status has a corresponding icon:
Open Thefileisopenonyourcomputer. This status lets youmakeinformeddecisions aboutwhether it’s appro-
priate, for example, to place a file into a layout while the file is still being edited. The Open status is indicated only
for files on your computer.
In Use By Me You are editing the file. Version Cue assigns this status to a file when you make an edit to the file
that changes its content.You can manually mark a file in use before you edit it to indicate to others that you intend
to make changes to the content.
Synchronized The latest known version of the file is available for editing and you have a working copy of it on
your computer. Version Cue assigns this status when you save a version of the file you’re editing, or when you
manually synchronize a project.
No Working Copy No local copy of the file exists. This status indicates that it will take a few moments to create a
working copy before you can edit the file.
In Use By <user name> Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new version.
Conflicted Copies There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are editing the file.
Only Copy The file in the working copies folder is the only copy known to Version Cue and has not been
synchronized with the Version Cue Workspace. This scenario can occur when a file has been saved in an existing
project for the first time while the workspace is offline. Because the workspace is offline, Version Cue displays the
Offline Copy status until the workspace is back online, and then changes the status to Only Copy. Version Cue also
displays this status if you drag a file from one folder into the working copies folder using the file system instead of
Bridge (not recommended). You can edit the file, but it’s important to synchronize (upload the file to the workspace)
after you save your changes.
Offline Copy There is a local copy of the file in your working copies folder, but the Version Cue Workspace is
offline. Thereisnoway of checking whetherthe localcopyissynchronizedwiththe latest versiononthe workspace.
You can edit an offline copy and save these changes; however, you must save a version or synchronize the file once
the workspace comes back online.
Outdated Copy A local copy exists, but there is a newer version of the file in the workspace. This status indicates
that it will take a few moments to create an up-to-date working copy before you can edit the file.
