About Version Cue versions
Versions provide a convenient method of retaining work that was performed in different stages. At any point in your
design process, you can save a version of the file, which Version Cue saves and tracks. Each version is a snapshot of
the file. You can use versions to review ideas or changes with team members or a client before selecting a final
version, or to recover from destructive changes.
Version Cue prevents users from overwriting each other’s work. With this protection capability, multiple users can
work on a file simultaneously. When more than one user is working on a file, Version cue alerts them all when one
user saves a new version, allowing everyone to update the file and work in the latest version.
Note: Two users cannot edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.
You don’t have to save a version every time you save your changes. Using the File > Save command works the same
way in Version Cue-managed files as in non-Version Cue files. You need only save a version when you want to create
a snapshot of the file. For example, if you change the background color or some text in the layout, and then save a
version, youcan go back to thepreviousversion withoutdamagingyourfile. InsteadofchoosingFile > Save As and
saving a new copy of a design, you save a version, which allows you to track changes as they occur.
If you want to continue your work using a previous version instead of the current version, promote the previous
version to the next current version (do this instead of opening the previous version directly). This process keeps the
previous version intact, should you decide to return to it again in the future. If you want a previous version, along
with the current version, to be available for use in a project, you can save the previous version as a separate asset.
When you do this, you can then make the previous version a member of a group of alternates, if desired.
You can view previous versions in their native applications. When you no longer need to keep previous versions of
files, you can delete them individually or in batches.
