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A newer version of the file appears on the Version Cue Server.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.)
