Search for files in a project

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 for more information.

Metadata is automatically added to Version Cue project files as you work with them. You can quickly locate files in a Version Cue project by searching for specific information such as titles, authors, copyright data, keywords, dates, and locations. The search feature searches through existing files, as well as files deleted from projects.

  1. Choose File > Open.
  2. If the button is visible, click Use Adobe Dialog (if you see the Use OS Dialog button instead, you are already using the Adobe dialog box).
  3. Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel.
  4. Double-click the host Version Cue Workspace.
  5. Double-click the project you want to search.
  6. Click Project Search .
  7. Enter information in Project Search.
If you open an older version of a file found as the result of a search, the file name will be prefaced with Version <X> -.
Note: It is best to treat older versions as view-only when opened as the result of a search. Although you can edit an older version in its native application, do so only if you intend for this version to become a separate asset. To edit a previous version, first promote it to the new, current version, and then make changes.
