Adding files and folders to a project

To save versions of a file and take advantage of Version Cue file management, you must add or save the file to a Version Cue project. You can add assets such as swatch libraries to projects to share them with your workgroup. You can also add non-Adobe files to Version Cue projects. You can add files using any of the following methods:

  • Add files one at a time from within InCopy, an Adobe Creative Suite component, or Acrobat 8.

  • Place files directly in the project’s working copies folder, and then synchronize the project to add the files. For more information, see About Version Cue projects.

Add a file to 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.
  1. Open the file.
  2. Choose File > Save As. Click Use Adobe Dialog if you’re using the OS dialog box.
  3. Double-click the host Version Cue Workspace.
  4. Double-click the project to open it.
  5. Enter a comment for the first version in the Version Comments box, and click Save.

Add files to a project folder

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.

You can add files by dragging them into the documents folder of a Version Cue project.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Locate the project folder inside the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your computer.

    • If the project folder isn’t already in the My Documents/Version Cue (Windows) or Documents/Version Cue (Mac OS) folder on your hard disk, create a new folder inside the Version Cue folder. Give the folder the same name as the existing Version Cue project on the Version Cue Workspace. Inside the new project folder, create a new folder and name it documents.
      Note: These steps work only if the project already exists. You cannot create a new project using this method.
  2. Move or copy the items you want to add to the documents folder.
  3. Choose File > Open. Click Use Adobe Dialog if you’re using the OS dialog box.
  4. Click Version Cue in the Favorites panel. Open the Version Cue Workspace, and select the project.
  5. Choose Synchronize from the Project Tools menu .Once the synchronization is complete, the files are added to the project.
