To edit a file in use by another user
Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See “Availability of Version Cue features” on page 81 for more information.
If you don't notice that a file's status is In Use when you open it, Version Cue displays an In Use By alert to remind
you that someone else is already editing a working copy of the file.
Note: In InCopy, you can’t edit a file that’s in use by another user.
1 Open the file, and click one of the following options when the In Use By alert appears:
No, Close Document Closes the file without any alterations.
Yes, Keep Open Keeps the file open so you can work on the document.
2 If you continue working with the document and make a change to the content, Version Cue displays an alert to
remind you that there is the possibility of creating conflicting copies. Click one of the following:
Discard Changes Displays the most recent version of the file from the Version Cue Workspace and discards your
changes to the working copy.
Continue Editing Lets you edit the working copy without overwriting the changes made in another user’s working
copy of the same file (Version Cue will prompt each user to save a new version of the file).
3 If the project doesn’t have lock protection applied to it, you can save a new version of your edits. Version Cue
displays an alert warning you that conflicting edits will occur if you continue. Click one of the following:
Cancel Returns you to the open document without saving a version.
Save Version Anyway Updates the master file in the Version Cue Workspace with the new version. (Version Cue
displays an alert to the other user to note that a newer version of the file has been created by you.)
At any point, you can close the document and discard any changes you’ve made.

To update a file with the most recent version
Note: You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See “Availability of Version Cue features” on page 81 for more information.
If another user creates a new version of a file that you have open or that is still marked In Use By Me, Version Cue
prompts you to update your document with the latest version when you open it or attempt to make changes to it, or
when you bring the document window frontmost in a group of documents.
❖ When the prompt appears, click one of the following:
Discard Changes Updates the document with the most recent version from the Version Cue project. You can
continue editing the file after it is updated. You lose any changes you’ve made even if you have already saved those
changes to the working copy with a Save command.
Continue Editing Leaves the document as is. You can continue editing the file without overwriting the changes in
the more recent version. Instead, you’re prompted to either save a new version of the file when you close it, or to
discard your changes.
