User Guide
If you want to continue your work using a previous version instead of the current version, promote the previous
version to the next current version (do this instead of opening the previous version directly). This process keeps the
previous version intact, should you decide to return to it again in the future. If you want a previous version, along
with the current version, to be available for use in a project, you can save the previous version as a separate asset.
When you do this, you can then make the previous version a member of a group of alternates, if desired.
You can view previous versions in their native applications. When you no longer need to keep previous versions of
files, you can delete them individually or in batches.

To save a new version of a file, you use the Save A Version command, which saves your changes to the Version Cue
