Manage Version Cue projects

You can duplicate or delete Version Cue projects in the Version Cue Administration utility, as well as remove file locks and delete file versions.

Duplicate a project to start new project with the same users and privileges. Version Cue duplicates the folder hierarchy within the project structure, and you can use that as a basis for the new project. Delete any files from the duplicated project that are no longer necessary.

A user with system administrator privileges or with project-specific Administer privileges can remove file locks. Removing file locks forces the removal of the In Use status of files designated by specific project or by users throughout all the projects.

Delete file versions to improve performance. Each time you save a file version, the version is stored on the Version Cue Workspace database. This database creates a file version history that lets you quickly return to any former state of the file. Although a version history is useful, an extensive history takes up a lot of disk space and can degrade the performance of the Version Cue Workspace.
