Add files and folders to a project



To save versions of a file and take advantage of Version Cue file management, add the file to a Version Cue project. You can add both Adobe and non-Adobe files to Version Cue projects.

Add a file or folder to a project in Adobe Bridge

  1. Use Adobe Drive to connect to a Version Cue Server.
  2. Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel, open the Version Cue server in the Content panel, and then double-click the project to which you want to add files.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • Drag files or folders from Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS) to the project in Adobe Bridge. (You cannot drag empty folders to a Version Cue project in Adobe Bridge.)

    • Choose Tools > Version Cue > Add Files. In the Open dialog box, select one or more files and click Open.

  4. Enter a version comment in the Check In dialog box and click OK.

Add a file to a project using Explorer or Finder

  1. Start Version Cue Server and connect to that server using Adobe Drive.
  2. Open the Version Cue Server in Windows Explorer or Mac OS Finder.

    The Version Cue Server appears in the same place where your mapped network drives and hard drives appear.

  3. Open the project folder, and then drag the files you want to add into the folder.
  4. To check in the file so that it’s available to others, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the file and choose Adobe Drive CS4 > Check In. (In Mac OS X Leopard, choose More > Adobe Drive CS4 > Check In.) Type a version comment and click OK.
Note: If you check out a file and drag a new version of a file to a folder with an older version, you can check in the file and create another version. However, if the file is replaced when it’s not checked out, previous versions of the file are deleted.

Add a file to a project using a fully enabled application

If you save a file to a project folder using one of the fully enabled applications—Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, InCopy, or Flash—you can check in the file during the save process.

  1. Start Version Cue Server and connect to that server using Adobe Drive.
  2. In the application such as Photoshop, choose File > Save As (or File > Check In), and then save the file to the project folder.
  3. Type a version comment and click OK.

The file is saved and checked in. If you edit the file, it’s checked out to you again. You can then check in another version by choosing File > Check In. You can also check in the edited file when you close it.
