Adobe Version Cue

Adobe® Version Cue® is a file-version manager included with Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design, Web, and Master Collection editions that consists of two pieces: the Version Cue Server and Version Cue connectivity. The Version Cue Server hosts Version Cue projects and PDF reviews, and can be installed locally or on a centralized computer. Version Cue connectivity enables you to connect to Version Cue Servers, and is included with all Version Cue-enabled components (Adobe Acrobat®, Adobe Flash®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe InDesign®, Adobe InCopy®, Adobe Photoshop®, and Adobe Bridge).

Use Version Cue to track changes to a file as you work on it, and to enable workgroup collaboration such as file sharing, version control, and online reviews. You can use Version Cue in a single Version Cue-enabled Creative Suite component, such as Photoshop, or across multiple components, such as Photoshop, Flash, and Illustrator.

You access Version Cue features by way of the Adobe dialog box or through Adobe Bridge, depending on whether you are using Version Cue-enabled software and whether or not you have installed a Creative Suite software set (for example, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium).

Version Cue handles the following tasks:
  • Creating versions of your files

  • Enabling workgroup collaboration (file sharing, version control, the ability to check files in and out)

  • Organizing files into private or shared projects

  • Providing thumbnails so you can browse and view files

  • Organizing data so you can view and search on file information, version comments, and file status

  • Creating and managing user access, projects, and PDF reviews by way of Version Cue Server Administration
