To delete a version
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” on page 29 for more information.
❖ Do one of the following:
• In the Versions dialog box, click the version you want to delete and click Delete. To delete multiple versions, Shift-
click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the versions and click Delete. When prompted, confirm the deletion.
• In Bridge, use the Versions And Alternates view, click the Versions View button in the upper right corner of the
window, Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the version, and then choose Delete from the menu.
Note that the remaining versions are not renumbered.
Using the Version Cue Administration utility, you can delete multiple previous versions of all files in a project simul-
taneously if you have access privileges. By using this method, you can retain past versions by date or by number of
versions to keep.

About Version Cue alternates
VersionCue makesiteasytomanagevariationsofadesign throughthe useof alternates. For example, you can create
alternates for variations of a design based on different versions or completely different photos for different editions
of a publication.
Youcan usealternatesinseveral ways.For instance,ifyou make extensivechanges to afile, it maymakemoresense
to save it as an alternate than a version. When you use alternates, your original file remains untouched and you’re
free to continue your design work in a new direction. You can also create alternates for art you’re planning to use in
different media, for example, a high-resolution alternate for print and a lower-resolution alternate for web use. Or,
you can make alternates from files with totally different content. For example, suppose you are creating an article
about fruit production. You might use a photo of an orange for the California edition, a photo of a banana for the
Florida edition, and a photo of an apple for the Washington edition. You can save each photo as an alternate.
You can access alternates from Bridge or directly from the Links palette in InCopy, InDesign, or Illustrator, making
it easy to present a variety of design ideas to clients and creative directors. Version Cue protects alternates the same
way as other assets. When you save an alternate, it appears as a separate file in its project, but Version Cue maintains
a relationship between the original file and any alternates you create.
