Version Cue file statuses

Files that are managed by Version Cue are always marked with a status icon that describes the state of the file on the Version Cue Workspace. You can view a file’s status while browsing the files in a Version Cue project. A file can have more than one status at the same time (in some cases only one status is shown).

Each file status has a corresponding icon:

Open

The file is open on your computer. This status lets you make informed decisions about whether it’s appropriate, for example, to place a file into a layout while the file is still being edited. The Open status is indicated only for files on your computer.

In Use By Me

You are editing the file. Version Cue assigns this status to a file when you make an edit to the file that changes its content.You can manually mark a file In Use before you edit it to indicate to others that you intend to make changes to the content.

Synchronized

The latest known version of the file is available for editing and you have a working copy of it on your computer. Version Cue assigns this status when you save a version of the file you’re editing, or when you manually synchronize a project.

No Working Copy

No local copy of the file exists. This status indicates that it will take a few moments to create a working copy before you can edit the file.

In Use By <user name>

Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new version.

Conflicted Copies

There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are editing the file.

Only Copy

The file in the working copies folder is the only copy known to Version Cue and has not been synchronized with the Version Cue Workspace. This scenario can occur when a file has been saved in an existing project for the first time while the workspace is offline. Because the workspace is offline, Version Cue displays the Offline Copy status until the workspace is back online, and then changes the status to Only Copy. Version Cue also displays this status if you drag a file from one folder into the working copies folder using the file system instead of Bridge (not recommended). You can edit the file, but it’s important to synchronize (upload the file to the workspace) after you save your changes.

Offline Copy

There is a local copy of the file in your working copies folder, but the Version Cue Workspace is offline. There is no way of checking whether the local copy is synchronized with the latest version on the workspace. You can edit an offline copy and save these changes; however, you must save a version or synchronize the file once the workspace comes back online.

Outdated Copy

A local copy exists, but there is a newer version of the file in the workspace. This status indicates that it will take a few moments to create an up-to-date working copy before you can edit the file.

Unavailable

The Version Cue Workspace is offline or you don’t have access privileges. There is no way of checking the status of the local copy with the workspace. You can edit the local copy and save these changes; however, you must save a version or synchronize the file once the workspace comes back online.

Deleted

The file or folder has been deleted from the project, but not yet permanently erased. (You can restore a deleted file or folder).
